I saved a posting some time ago that explained Sad Mac codes.  Unfortunately, 
I seem to have lost it now that I need to know what is wrong with my Mac Plus.

If no floppy is present it displays a Sad Mac and 030008 after the memory test.
Curiously enough, if there is a floppy present upon startup, it will get as far
as "Welcome to Macintosh" before displaying Bomb id=10 (occasionally it's id=26
or id=30).  A hard drive is normally used with the machine but symptoms are the
same with it attached or not.  Mac's a year old, and recently upgraded to 2.5M.

I've never heard of such peculiar behavior, and wonder if it may be faulty RAM
that is the matter (in which case I may be able to take care of it myself) or
if it something more serious.  I would appreciate hearing from anyone with
relevant information or suggestions.
