A problem recently developed in my 4-yr old AT clone, after I added
a second 40mb hard disk.  (I am not sure if this is related, however).
The machine spontaneously reboots while running a program, or even
if just left idling.  This happened to me twice when I was trying to
load a new software package yesterday, although as I said, it even
occurs if I leave the machine running idle, or as a dumb terminal.
 
 
Additional information: several people have suggested to me that
my power supply may be inadequate.  It is labelled *200 watt Taiwan*.
Should I try to disconnect the drive and see if the problem goes
away, or just put in a new power supply?  Thank you.
