I am posting this request for a friend without access to usenet posting.  Feel
free to send email to me and I will pass along.  Thanks!

My friend has a relatively new Mac+ with 1 meg memory, a Micah hard drive (20meg)
a Smartteam 1200 and an Imagewriter I.  He also has an external 3.5" drive
called a PKI.  

Over the last few weeks his Mac was rebooting itself occasionally.  He treated
this as an annoyance rather than a concern until the last few days.  Now, when
he boots up cold, he gets about 40-50 seconds into the boot and gets an
interrupt and the CPU attempts to reboot.  Occasionally it is successful - 
other times that reboot is interrupted.

Using the process of elimination it appears that the PKI external drive is
somehow related to the rogue interrupts.  Only when it is plugged in does this
occur.

He is in need of ideas on how to a) fix the problem, b) resolve the problem, c)
live with the problem peaceably.  He does get to read usenet mail so feel free
to post if you think your answers are of interest - otherwise private mail will
be forwarded to Friend Jon.


Thank you very much for you time.
