I own such a machine except that it has the /e roms and 800k drives
instead. Possibly the same memory extension board -- mine's from Dove,
and also a Dove SCSI attached. I get "sad mac"s every few months, 
especially if I move the machine, and the remedy is to take it apart,
take out the logic board, with all the dove boards attched, and shove
everything in tightly again (make sure you discharge static first,
of course) and then put everything back together and it'd all work
again for another month. I guess those 3rd party boards since they
are hacks to get it to have more memory anyway can get loose after
a while and cause a memory error or something.
