I used to get somewhat similar results on my LX (although the system would not keel over, I would just get a gross SCSI bus reset every once in a while)... and if I removed my CD-ROM, it went away. I did manage to correct it when I installed a second hard drive (sharing external chaing w/ CD-ROM..) the hard drive had resistor packs... I recently got a Plextor 4/12 CDR that I've been able to use (with intermittent SCSI bus errors)... I recently switched some SCSI cables around (got a 12" cable to replace a 3 footer) and different errors ensued (still investigating).. but I figured I'd mention it (check various cable lengths on troublesome setups). ----|||------------------------------------------------------------- - ||| Atari 8-bit!
