I just installed a MacSnap Plus 2 in my system.  At first I kept getting
the Sad Mac.  Each time I removed the upgrade, the Mac would run fine.
When I put the upgrade back it would die.  After checking the "trouble
shooting" supplement out for the third time, I decided I wasn't applying
sufficient force to seat the cards properly (although I was already
applying much more force than I would even in positive-insertion-force
situations.  I tried a fourth time, applying a great deal of force (so
much that I was concerned about breaking the connector).  It worked, and
has been running fine for the past two weeks.

As an aside:  I got the memory in order to be able to run Word and Excel
	      together under Switcher.  Unfortunately, I have also come
	      to rely on Memorandum (a great DA).  Memorandum becomes
	      severely confused by the Swticher environment:  It goes 
	      through its launch sequence each time you "switch" and loses
	      track of its Notes file (and won't even let you re-select
	      the proper Notes file because its already open).  Ah, well...
