	I apologize if this is a repeated posting but alot of our news
	has recently bounced.  Given that I have not received any
	responses to my question, I can only assume that it never made
	it to the net.  Here is my posting (again):
	
	I recently upgraded my Mac Plus from 1 MEG to 4 MEGS of
	memory.  Ever since this upgrade, I am experiencing extended
	start-up delays prior to getting the "Happy Mac".  The screen
	is white during this time and no obvious disk activity is
	taking place.  
	
	In a previous posting I incorrectly stated that this delay was
	approximately 15 seconds.  Yesterday I decided to put a watch
	to this event and found to my surprise that the time is exactly
	30 seconds!  I performed the following test numerous times:
	First I would issue the Shutdown command, power the Mac OFF and 
	then power it ON again.  Every time it would delay for 30 seconds.

	Are diagnostics being performed that would cause this delay now that
	I have upgraded to 4 MEGS?  Is there something that needs to be
	reconfigured with my system?  Is this delay normal?  Has anyone else
	who upgraded his/her system seen this behavior?  Any and all
	help would be appreciated!  

	Thanks in advance....
	
	- Kevin
