No, I haven't become a meta-fly.  Something even more insidious.  Here's the
straight poop:

Have been turning the power on my Mac+ (which is hooked to a Dataframe 20,
an Imagewriter I and the old Robotics Apple 300/1200 Modem -- and I power up
the Dataframe first), I get the "Bong", but instead of the blank grey screen
while the memory check occurs, I get a dark screen with a block of grey in
the middle and the Sick Mac Icon.  Underneath it is the hex number "0200FF".
The first time this happened, I though, "Oh, no, repair time".  However, it
was fine when I tried it again in 15 minutes.  It has occured again,
sometimes curable by (belive it or not) placing a disk in the drive, turning
the machine off and booting off of the disk!  Sometimes even that doesn't
work.

Anyone understand what's going on?  Could you drop me a line if you do?
