Hi guys, 

Thanks for all the help. I did initially run it without a keyboard, but
when the problem started I plugged the keyboard and monitor back in. The
problem however persisted. On your advice I opened the box yesterday, and
found that one of the 32Mb Simms weren't properly seated in the memory
bank. I swapped and reseated the two Simms and this morning everything was
fine!! If this works for another day I will disable gettys and try again
without monitor and keyboard. 

Thanks again
