I have had a problem when running in ProDOS for quite awhile and have yet
to find a cure.  I run a bulletin board system and found that my bbs program
was so large I had to split the file up into chunks and CHAIN between them.
Every now and then, when the program would CHAIN to another section, the
disk drive would just lock up!  Upon further inspection, I would find that
all variables had been lost as well.  I figure that ProDOS loses all pointers
and variable assignments and doesn't know where to go.  I have just recently
been running the board with different software and it has been CHAINing fine
between sections.  But today (and a few times before) it locked up when it
went to list out a text file.  Once again, all variable assignments had been
lost.  If anyone can think of a "cure" for this "disease" please let me know!
If it makes any difference, I am running on an enhanced //e, 128k 80col card,
two floppies, and a Sider 10meg drive (it's for sale by the way).
Either mail me, reply here, or phone me voice or my board.
