One possiblility is that it's not ProDOS, but heat buildup.  You must have a 
serial card or modem card in there as well.  That's four cards.  Do you also 
have a clock?  Is the machine is up 24hrs. a day?  At any rate, I have seen an 
Apple lock up and do all sorts of weird things because of too much heat.  You 
should try putting a System Saver type fan on the beast and see if that helps.  
One that blows outward from the machine (like the Kensington) is better than 
one that blows into it because you draw cool air in through every opening in 
the case rather than just from the vent where the fan is located.

I have no connection ith Kensington, just a satisfied System Saver owner.
