Does @rubber_jonnie have a Z88?

I'm pretty sure he has the NC100 & NC200...

It's not. I thought I had bad RAM and replaced one, but didn't help. I'm going to get back to it soon and need to break out the scope, but I do wonder if it's a power issue.

Very much so. It's actually a dual CPU machine and runs off battery, with power only for charging the battery. Basically if you remove the battery you can't run it off the charger.
