	I guess I should consider myself lucky. Everything came
apart, and it all fit back together in (practically) the same
places where it came from. The computer did not make funny noises
and I didn't smell anything burning. However, of the extra 2MB I
installed 512K is not registering.
	I know of one zip that I messed up very badly. I thought
I got it back in right, but I guess I didn't. Now, I moved the
2MB dips to chip ram and filled banks 0 and 1 with zips. That
meant that (going from front of machine to back) I filled in
groups of two rows, alternating filling and leaving empty.
	Going on the assumption that this is one chip, which one
should it be? Would it cut out any chips after it (i.e. are they
connected in series)? Would it cut out anything after it in the
same bank, or also every other bank that comes after it as well?
	Finally, how would it work if it were 2, 3 or 4 chips?
	Finally2, is running the machine with a bad chip any
danger to the machine?
	Thanx,
