I have not had the ProDOS #56 error, or any other of you symptoms EXCEPT I
have had the "kept accessing the hard drive rapidly for a lengthy period
after the thermometer finshed" problem.  I was really surprised to see it
happening.  The only two things I have changed resently were the update to
5.0.2 a couple of weeks ago and yesterday's change to AWGS 1.1 which was
a couple of hours before the reboot incident happened.  I don't know if it
was related.  It may have been just coincidence, and it only happened once.
Anybody out there with any ideas?
