I had this with my Northgate Elegance (Adaptec/Microscience 65M) until
I swapped the keyboard for an older style which didn't have a detatchable
plug where the cable joins the keyboard. If that ever slipped, it was
hang city. The new keyboard is not the only change I made; I upgraded
the anti-static precautions to include spraying fabric softener on the
carpet. No lock-ups since.

P.S. Have solved the cc error message dilemma; the *.err files in /lib
need to have links which appear in /lib/386. Where should I have found
this in the manuals?
