Dan, I have both a TimeMaster H.O. and a Transwarp accelerator installed
in my computer.  I also have a modem hooked up via Super=Serial Card,
a CP/M card (Applied Engineerings), a duo-disk, and a hard drive installed.

I ALSO have a new power supply (Applied Engineerings) which ran about 50-60
dollars.  I suspect THIS is the problem.  Apple's low-power power supply
just can't handle the Transwarp.

I was having the same problem as you describe and others.  The people at
AE mentioned that because I have so many peripherals in my machine,
the power drain was to great.  

Now you don't have to buy Applied Engineerings power supply.  Other
manufacturers make 5+ watt power supplies.  But AE's is excellent and
extremely easy to install.
