I believe your problem is with iffy SIMMs. I experienced similar problems
on my internet gateway (P166, iwill motherboard with imbedded AIC7780, 2G
Compaq harddrive, 64 MB RAM) One more manifestation of the problem was
when copying large (10MB+) file. I also suspected hard drive problem, even
installed an extra fan inside te case. The copy differed from the
original. The SIMMs used were non-parity. Now I installed ECC SIMMs and no
more problem. What's curious, those non-parity SIMMs work fine in another
box under Win95. (Or M$ doesn't make that extensive use of memory?)
