     The thing is that once you plug in a PCT 'all bets are off' about
crash causes. At the least, the board has to be a power sucker. This,
alone, can lead to many problems.

     Regarding ADB-related crashes, adding a SystemSaver GS with fan
_increased_ 0911 crashes on our old 0911 crash-prone board. Heating the
temp-sensitive ADB IC (via a taped-on 12V bulb) got rid of the crashes.

     However, our sample of ADB-related crashes was just a few boards
(like 2-3). It may be that your ADB chip (the ADB GLU or ADB Controller)
bombs at higher temps. Or, it may be that the PCT glitches at higher
temps and that this was interfering with ADB functioning.
