Yes  -  total loss of power - yet, press the on off  button,  and 
then  again  to  power on and it comes back up.  I'll  check  the 
connections. Another oddity is character delays in a DOS wordpro-
cessor I use shelled from a DOS net program (itself run from W95). 
These 'delays' only seem to be of recent origin though - there are
32MB EDO  and a P166  with 256K  Pbc and the only changes recently
have been to optimize QEMM8 and install MS PLUS.
