TWGS Lockup



It seems that my TWGS will occasionally freeze my GS.  I figure it is the 
TWGS because I installed it a couple months ago and I never had this 
problem before.  Is this heat related?  I think I vaguely remember 
reading a thread a year or so ago by someone with the same problem.  I 
think the answer was the heat that the TWGS put off.

Well, I do have a system saver GS fan.  However, I do have a couple other 
big cards in there, and an internal Vulcan HD which may be blocking the 
air flow?  I have run it a few times with the case off and it doesn't 
seem to lock up then.  The fact that I have a Vulcan I/O card, Vulcan HD, 
SCSI Rev C, SuperSonic w/ Digitizer, and TWGS in the machine probably 
isn't helping either.  Would like to replace the SCSI Rev C with a 
smaller RAMFast and ditch the Vulcan altogether once I migrate a few more 
programs off the Vulcan.  That would help both heat and power supply load.


The only other thing that I can think of is age.  I bought the TWGS about 
2 months ago.  I bought it at an auction NEW in shrinkwrapped box (for a 
whopping $5... heh heh, beat that).  It is the newer version with the DMA 
compatibility, probably circa 1989?  So it's basically sat dormant in a 
box for 8 years.  I dunno if that might have anything to do with it?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
