My brother is having some trouble with my old mac now in his posession.
This is a 512E upgraded with a Human Touch Computer Products (now defunct
but I know their engineers) 3-2-1 board which features a 12 MHz 68000
and an additional 1.5 meg of ram (for 2 Meg total).

It is currently running a minimalish System Tools 5.0 and HTCP's ram disk
software.

This system has operated fine in this state for quite some time.

TOday for the second time in recent weeks while working in Pagemaker (not
sure if its 2.0 or a more recent rev) he suddenly got a sad mac with 0f0003
which on boot-up would be an illegal instruction trap.

Anybody know what's happening?


Thanks for any help you can give,

Josh
