   We are having a problem here with a similar setup.  Additionally we 
have a Micron Xceed Cache card and we don't have the latest version of 
After Dark.  Although this may be the problem, the user has quite a few 
other INITs and CDEVs.  I have broused the HyperCard stack found on sumex 
for INIT conflicts but have found no solutions there. 

   When the IIci hangs, the Apple 15" portrait monitor just displays vertical 
bars.  Other INITs I am suspicious of are OnLocation and QuicKeys 2 (which  
uses a timer to start up a downloading program in the middle of the night).  

   I suspect one of the background routines because it doesn't hang up while 
the user is using it.  It is usually found the next morning in this state. 

   Does anyone out there have a clue???  Thanx for any info.
