Thanks.  I guess I'll PM the system (which has been running fine since
the crash) at earliest opportunity; I've got a De-Ox-it kit for the
contacts and such (though just reseating everything may also be
enough).  If it happens again, then I suppose I'll have to look at
retiring the old girl.  Bummer.  I'd have to start using some
newfangled Alphastation 200 4/233 then with those big old two and four
gig drives... ;)
