- I have just purchased 4Mb for my Mac+. The finder only recognizes 2Mb

- the Plus to run Word (it has no hard drive), so my idea is to use the
- extra memory as a ram-disk and load the system & Word into it. I have
- successfully created a ram-disk of abt. 1Mb and loaded the system into
- it, but I am still clueless as to why I cannot access the rest.

- The Mac Plus should recognize all 4Mb. You most likely need to cut the
- resistor on the motherboard that enables the second SIMM bank. I
- don't remember if it's marked or not.
