I too have had never-before-seen problems with R4, which coincidentally came
about the same time as my Pentium & Stealth 64. Lately, things seem to be more
stable, but the only thing I changed was (strangely) running SmartDrive. That
is, I *started* running it again. I have not been able to determine if it was
R4 or the Pentium, or some combination of both. I do know that on this system,
running more than 1 EIDE drive along with SCSI & proprietary CD ROM
controllers/adapters, made 3DS go beserk. No other programs were affected, and
adding several SCSI drives causes no problems at all. Somehow, I've felt the
display drivers were involved with this too, for reasons too numerous to
mention here. Also, I've been told that using SIMMS with gold plating (vs tin)
causes bizzaro, seemingly random problems in Intel MB's.
FWIW,
