Hey John, do you remember me asking an identical question a LONG time ago 
back on the dayton freenet?  It was when I still had my 01 motherboard.  
It never gave me the "call 911" error when it was hot... only on 
power-up.  My solution was to let the system heat up for about 2 minutes, 
with the bouncing apple going nuts, and then resetting.  It almost always 
worked.  It's like the ADB controller had to warm up or something.  I 
never found a fix for it, until I swapped into a ROM 03.  I've never seen 
"911" since.  (knock on simulated wood-grain desk)
