  Here are my two related (barely :) questions:

  1)  What is this stupid "Bus Error" on my IIsi.  It seems to pop up in
various programs.  It seems that it is a generic name for a wide range of
crashes.  I got them in Think Pascal 2.0, SoundEdit and other places.

  2)  When I got my new IIsi, I stole the 4 1 meg SIMMs out of my Plus and
replaced them with 256k SIMMs.  The computer will boot and all, but the 
screen doesn't work.  I know when you put in the 4 megs, you have to
cut a wire or two.  My question is, can it be reversed by a lowly little
cs undergrad with very little electrical engineering experience?

  I couldn't tell you how stuped I felt when I powered up my Plus and
couldn't figure why it wouldn't update the screen.  Dumb wires!
