I know that this is common question #318 so I would appreciate it if
someone(s) could respond to me via e-mail with their thoughts on the
nature of the problem.

Configuration:
-------------
Mac Plus
an Apple 40 meg. Hard Drive (originally an internal from a MacII; placed
	in an external case)
Imagewriter II
System 6.0.1 or 6.0.2

Problem (Started about three days ago):
--------------------------------------
The screen suddenly goes black and after a light tap on the right side of the
mac, the screen comes back.  Typically, applications are not bombed but do
end up losing data (e.g. cumulative scores in a game go back to 0).

Any thoughts or suggestions about possible causes would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
