	[questions about bus errors]

	A bus error is an exception that is signalled by external hardware
(external to the CPU, that is)  when an attempt is made to access an illegal
address.

	Bus errors are only signalled on Macs that have memory or I/O busses,
such as the II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30. The 68020 or 68030 will not
signal odd memory references, since they are legal on these CPUs.

	Tech support for THINK Pascal and THINK C is  (617) 275-1738.
