[comp.sys.apple2] FATAL ERROR 0911

ISSLTC@NUSVM.BITNET (Lim Thye Chean) (05/23/91)

I have a little question... what is Fatal error 0911?

Some people tell me that it is an overheated error... but I have
System Saver GS on top of my computer. Besides, I only have a few
cards... AI's stereo card, an OctoRAM with 2MB installed and nothing
more.

It has occurred a few times per day, nearly everyday, and I am getting
quite annoyed. Can anybody help?

Hey, first time posting, but here goes.

I have had long standing problems with error 0911.  Unlike most people
it happens to me only when the computer is cold.  Turning it on in a cold
room always gets me the 0911 error message.  I thought something on the
subject appeared once in A2-Central, but now I can't find it.

Anybody?

Well, more showed up in Computist than did in A2-Central..    The general
jist is that the problem is heat related, and the more cards you have, the
more likely you are to have a problem..    On my //gs, it's so bad, that I
*HAVE* to run it without a top on the computer, the $0911 error occours
THAT regularly..    Computist's fix was to get a small light, hook it up
the the fan outputs that most people don't use, and put the light on top of
the ADB controller..    I never tried it, but it makes sense....
