Pismo Problems, Continued...

[Dyna]

	Thanks to everyone who suggested fixes for my near dead Pismo. The 
hard drive was indeed bad, and I replaced it with a new 40 gig Hitachi 
and added 256 megs of RAM while I was in there to up the total RAM to 
384 megs. Despite all this new hardware the Pismo often needed repeated 
reboots to start up and usually froze up after it had been running a 
while. So following the advice given to the new Lombard owner with 
similar problems I pulled and reseated the processor card and it's RAM.

	The Pismo now usually boots up and goes to work, but occasionally 
freezes after an hour or more of use. It then refuses to boot until I 
disconnect all power and I sometimes have to disconnect the PRAM 
battery as well. This seems to be a common problem with the G3 
PowerBooks, and makes one wonder if some component is failing as it 
ages past AppleCare's 3 year coverage limit and refuses to function 
after it warms up... any theories or even fixes?

        thanks again for all the help- at least my Pismo now works sometimes!
