After upgrading to 2 MB, I took my mac in for the ROM/drive upgrade. When I came to pick it up the repairman at the dealer told me that there was a bad connection somewhere in my mac which, despite spending an hour looking for it, he was unable to locate. He stated that he had disassembled the mac numerous times, reseated the expansion board repeatedly, etc., but to no avail. Demonstrating it to me, he would turn on the mac, the bong would occur, but the screen sould stay blank. He would then jiggle the motherboard, and sure enough, the insert disk icon would appear! My mac's "problem" of course was that he had never seen a 2 MB mac before. It takes roughly 10 sec after power up for it to complete the RAM diagnostic. By that time he would be jiggling connectors and would assume that his jiggling made it start working. Niel Ransom
