Hi all,
I wrote to the list a few days ago and several of you replied. I have done
all of what you all suggested and I am now back to a blinking ? floppy icon
at boot up... It will boot from TechTools 3.0.6 (which has been the
greatest $80 investment I ever made BTW!). It will also boot from the OS
CD, but freezes if I try to reinstall.
To remind, I have a 9600/300/G3 running 9.1.
I was able to get it back from the last blinking ? and even went online,
opened OE and sent some pictures before it locked up!

Start your quest by running your Mac with the side door open. Put a desk fan on it
and see if my overheating idea prevails.
If that doesn't stop it from freezing, go to RAM. I don't know your quantity and sizes
but run one (as little as 64MB) stick. If it STILL freezes, then suspect your hard disk
or it's connection cable.
