Sometime during the last six months or so, there was a discussion of 7300s and 3b1s suffering from 'Spurious Interrupts' from the hard disk and/or the parallel port. Unfortunately, I didn't need the information at the time and didn't have the forsight to save the messages. I now find myself in need of this information. In particular, I have a 7300 with 1 MB on the motherboard, 512K expansion Ram, 40 MB disk, & Tape that is suffering from panics every so often (at least one a day now). The software is 3.0. The panics seem to occur during periods of intense disk activity. Initially I saw a panic then nothing for several weeks, then another panic. Now the panics are happening often enough that I can cause a malfuction at will. Charlie Pilzer Bear Track Computer Company uunet!beartrk!clp
