I have a Plus from December 1989 that has a similar
problem. I do indeed have Snooper (albeit 75 miles
away for the next few weeks) so I might run it on that
Mac when I get back. I don't get bombs, but it seems
to hang more often than my other Macs...and I'm not
doing anything that intensive on it plus it has 4MB
RAM. I love this particular Plus so I am curious now
as to the status of the 68K chip in there.
As for nVIR, I've run Disinfectant on that computer.
It's a strong possiblity that you may have nVIR or any
of the other early Mac viruses. nVIR seems to be the
most common and has a ton of variants (two strains and
many substrains of those like nCAM). Find yourself a
copy of Disinfectant on the web and run it on that
Mac. These viruses still do exist--I recently
eradicated some nVIR A from a IIci.
