My first ever GLOD came from an MSIE 4.5 crash, and since then more than
once from MSIE although I'm hard pressed to impute a connection.
Interesting...another MS bug???

I think your CPU daughter card is now the prime suspect. You probably
experienced declining stability, unexplained screen freezes etc. Try to swap
in your old 603e/180 and see if that works. I just finished troubleshooting
another overseas lister's 2400 with an IDENTICAL "toggling" problem. Your
I/O board is probably OK and if you haven't hot plugged SCSI or done
anything too crazy the MB/fuses should be OK.
If I recall correctly, Yannis' problem (requoted by John Tree
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) was also a dead CPU. BTW he swapped I/O boards
with another lister in Germany and after a while both MBs failed--and were
revived when the original I/O boards were rematched to the original MBs.
Refer to my discussion in that (requoted) post originally made maybe 18-24
months ago? That was the "verification" of my own experience.
