Sounds like a hardware problem.

Go to the FEP. SCAN iNNN-tests.flod (NNN is the version you have
in your FEP dir).
Then you have several commands to test your memory.
Test Main Memory . Etc. This should help to locate the
memory problem.

The last keyboard from Symbolics (the heavy one, it could
be a part of a "guillotine") is the best.

The advantage of a MacIvory is that you can get an adapter
to connect the keyboard and the 3-button mouse to the Mac
(up to 68040/Quadras - unless somebody is willing to improve
the driver to make it work on a PowerPC Mac - just the keyboard
would be cool for MCL). So you can use the Symbolics keyboard
on a Mac together with modern color monitors. 

Sometimes I'm transferring text files to my MacIvory - just that
I can edit them there.

There is nothing like that for the PC or for Unix boxes - AFAIK.
