   I purchased the C128 Development package.  I am very pleased
   with the programs.  

   I have had only one problem with the assemble.  After using the
   computer for long periods of time, the assembler starts to report
   a "P" error.  The manual states that compiler is confused or the
   disk is bad.  I know that the disk is fine.  If I shut the computer
   off for an hour and re-assemble the source code, it works fine.
   If I shut the computer off and immediately turn it back on, I
   still get the same errors.  If I shut it off for a short period
   of time and try again it works, but the "P" error will occur
   again.

   If I put the source code on my 1750 REU using the ramdos, I still
   get the same errors.

   My system I use for programming...
   ====================================
   C128 version 0 roms
   1571 disk drive device 8
   1750 REU ramdos device 9
   1581 disk drive device 10

   I eliminated the disk drives as the problem.  The computer is the only
   item left. Which I have no idea where to start to solve the problem.
   I am not sure if the computer is overheating and hardware is 
   malfunctioning.

   Any help?

   Does anyone know the compuserve mail address for the commodore 
   online help person?
