The problem could indeed be the power supply.  There is a standing
warning to dealers about a series of bad power supplies for the //c that
can cause serious (and I mean SERIOUS) motherboard problems.  I can't
find the serial numbers right now, but if any one in interested, I can
dig them up and post them again.  Also, the //e problems could very well
be power or heat generated.  I got '?' all over my screen before I got a
system saver.  Now I only get them when it's been left on four a good
long time.  I have it jam packed.  I gotta take out the integer card,
though I sorta like.  Absolute reset, but I just burned some new proms!
Faster hires routines as well!
