For some time, my 800 has had the characteristic that it would tend to crash, some time (usually about a couple of hours) after power-up. The time before crashing has recently been decreasing; it's rare that I can get the thing to work for an hour straight, now (thank the gods that I have a disk drive!). I suspect that the problem is due to a poor connection between one of the innumerable cartridges and the bus; however, sometimes the crash will come when I'm not touching the machine, and hence it wouldn't be due to a cartridge shifting in its socket. Question: do many other people have this problem with their machines, or is it time to bring mine in for service? Thanks in advance. -Kieran A. Carroll ...decvax!utzoo!kcarroll
