Howdy All,

	I received many responses to my original message about Test Monitor...
None of which explained what Test Monitor was, or how to get out of it.
However, on the suggestion of a few people, I did try moving the RAM around
(2M, 8 256K chips).  Well, I tried the obvious first - move Bank A to Bank B,
and re-boot..  Got the "OK" chord, then 2 ascending chords, then 3 asc. chords,
then (a different screen pattern, but still - ) Test Monitor.  At this time, I 
figured it was a RAM chip gone south, and sure enough, it was....   Thank god I
still had extras from all those other RAM upgrades I've done :-) ..

	Anyway, it does seem that you no longer get the sad face mac for bad
memory in the SE/30 (MacII also)...  Just gotta "play it by ear" (awwwh, bad
pun....)...  

	Thanx to everybody who replied.....

	James
