After 5 years of service (without ANY manufacturer service), I really
think my TRS-80 Model IV is about to "bite the dust".  I'd like to
repair it, as long as the problem isn't too costly.  This is what
happens:

After being used for
about 1/2 hour in either Model III or IV mode, the screen gets large,
the cassette switch (I guess it's a relay) clicks, and the machine
resets.  If I allow it to rest for about 2 minutes, it decides to run
fine again.  This just started to happen about 1-2 weeks ago...

Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem
might be?  Should I get rid of it?  Any help is greatly appreciated...
