I'll see if I can reproduct it on my Amstrad PPC640.  Is there a 
specific thing that you can do to cause it to happen?  I've booted 
ELKS on my PPC640 and it seemd ok, but I've never used it very 
much on there, since it doesn't have a hard drive and my Compaq 
SLT/286 does.  I probably won't get to play with it until this 
weekend, though.

However, the PPC640 is cool indeed.  It's the only PC-compatable 
portable that I know of that runs off of stock "comodity" batteries 
(10 C cells).  I've been thinking it'd be cool to build a solar panel for 
it.
