For what it's worth, I have Proterm 3.1, on an enhanced //e, but NO
accelerator, and I still get that sort of thing, though it's not really
all that frequent. I've written it off as stray bits of line-noise, but if
yours is excessive, it might be a good idea to try yanking the Zip and
seeing if the problem goes away...
 
FWIW: I recently yanked my Transwarp //e and put it on the shelf after
havig numerous problems (including one similar to that, which I could live
with... the one I COULDN'T live with was the fact that it was lunching my
HD on a regular basis...)

Best of luck...
