Saturday I went to the monthly mac users group meeting <www.mactechnics.org> where I swapped two 520 powerbooks for an old 4Gb drive and SCSI enclosure.
The drive sounded like a jet engine but I was able to copy everything off the Lombard, re-initialize the hard drive, install OS9 and copy all the data back.
I'm going to install Mozilla 1.3.1 from Wamcom <http://wamcom.org/latest-131/> and let my daughter play with it for a while to see if the freezing problems continue.
If the reinstall fixes the problems then I'll install the rest of the programs.
If the problems are still there I guess I've got to think about hardware problems.
Does anyone know what the symptoms are for the infamous Lombard cache failure?
Apple System Profiler shows "Backside L2 cache 1Mb" which sounds encouraging.
