my older macs (68040 and 80mzh PPC) did not have any issues copying files. however my 6360 both with and without G3 card - will lock up when copying a file and then unlock, copy some, and lock up again.
i tested different CD drives, HD's, Operating systems (8.1/8.5/8.6/9.0.4/9.1).
while running mactest pro - RAM testing will lock the system when testing an address and unlock when it moves to the next, then lock up again.
these systems have a 40mhz bus - do they also have the same split 64 lanes between two 32 lane bus's on the board? so when the memory controller is maxed out is the ADB port unable to Rx/Tx?
would the system having 136MB of ram be causing the lockups as the memory buffer is that much larger and thus the flooded system controllers are noticeable? where as smaller ram or slower CD drives might mask this design fault?
the system locks up when copying via HDD-HDD or CD-HDD but seems to do it less often with smaller files.
