  You need to remove resistor R8 - which should be found toward the rear of 
  the Mac+ logic board in the general area of the modem and printer ports.
  It's clearly marked with "256K BIT" on one side and "RAM SIZE" on the other.

  Which brings me to my question: How much are the SIMMs and who's the best
  supplier? A supplier here in Australia is selling their own SIMMs ( made
  with Toshiba (where's that damn sub?) 120ns 1-mbit chips) for $995 for
  2 meg (US$700). We would like to see whether it is worthwhile to buy them
  from the US.
