Wallstreet disk problems

I got my first mac laptop a month or two ago, a Wallstreet. It now has 10.2.8 on it and has been locking up a lot recently. I have Disk Warrior, when I put it in the drive and restart, it locks up at the apple screen and spinning circle (lines). Same thing if I put the Disk Warrior CD in the dri

I remember that *new* powerbook g3 wallstreets in 1998 did what you describe (The Beige G3s I had didn't). I got rid of that bus error problem at the time by adding Conflict Catcher 8.x, replacing "Apple Menu Options" with shareware "Behierarchic" and "Ram Doubler 9" set to no doubling. For reason
