     It will do no harm to obtain all the configuration and other PCT
info you can. Perhaps, the problem has to do with configuration.

     Unfortunately, PCT is know to be a power-sucker. On a standard GS
with a 14MHz accelerator installed, the probability of system crashes
due to noise glitches is fairly high.

     If, after trying the configuration route, you still get crashes,
you may want to consider some hardware de-glitching mods. A discussion
with mod directions is available in the csa2 FAQs FxxxPower.txt file on

Since the info was recently posted under some other thread, I'll just
email you a copy of the relevant portions of the file.
