     0681 "bad event que" and 0682 "bad que handler" are both 'Event Manager
errors'. As David Empson explains:

     The second most common cause is a faulty or incorrectly configured memory
expansion card (or bad RAM on that card).  The event queue normally lives near
the top of "fast" memory, so it is always located in the memory expansion card
if you have one.

     Assuming there is nothing about the card which is incompatible with your
operating system, it looks like one thing to check is that your card DIP
switches or jumpers are set for 6MB.

     If your board configuration is correct, something else to check is that
the added RAM IC's are correctly socketted-- firmly in place, not in backwards,
no bent pins, ... . Or, you may have a bad RAM chip.

     One try at checking for a bad RAM IC is to swap the 6th MB RAMs into the
5th MB sockets-- try to maintain the same relative position for each chip-- and
set the board for 5MB. If the board still works, the RAM chips are likely to be
okay and something else is the problem. If you now get an error, the indication
is that a RAM IC is bad.
