Hi,
	I'm *gleefully* running 2.5 megs thanks to the Dove 2H upgrade (get
the 2S if you can, it has shorter chips.  I've told Dove that none of the
MacConnection type places even know about the 2S, and perhaps they'll do
something about it.)
	What NO ONE TOLD ME was that to upgrade your Plus beyond a meg,
you almost CERTAINLY HAVE to clip out a resistor on your motherboard!  DRAT!
I sneer in your general direction, Apple!  YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT STUPID
RESISTOR ON THE SIMM!!!  But then, I'm a software person, and it's a minor
miracle that I can *recognize* a resistor, let alone know where to put one :-).
	So.  The Dove manual mentions that in (I believe) inside mac volume
four,there is a place where it tells you which of two things to do:
		First, in one place, there is a resistor to clip out if
	you're using 1 megabit simms (as opposed to the 256k simms it comes
	with).
		Second, in another place, there is a resistor slot to PUT IN
	a resistor if you're not going to use the (front?) two slots.  That
	is, if you want 2 megs, you have to SOLDER IN a resistor, but if you
	want 2.5, you don't.  So why would anyone run 2 megs?  I dunno.
	I *for sure* ain't going to solder up my motherboard just to have .5
	fewer megs!
