Okay i try to be as exact as possible:

1. @applefreak: System does not matter - happens with 8.6 and 9.2.2 (I do not have the original install media :( )

2. @Trash80toHP_mini: As I mention in my post I can only recover from this error by reformating (initializing) the hd

3. @Byrd: It does not matter how much time it takes between startups, for example I shutdown the TAM in the evening when I come back in the morning I switch it on it hangs at startup. Or sometimes when I am playing around with the TAM I reboot it and all of a sudden it got hung in the boot screen - but only after a few successful startups. When this happens I can only get back to a working state by reformating the disk and copy the system back to the disk. Until this error happens again.

I am going to look inside I see if it is very dusty.

Any idea? How about bad ram? I have no other ram to test it.

Bye,

P.S. I read somewhere that Steve Wozniak stated that the TAM has a ROM bug that leads to trouble when a disk bigger than 2GB is installed.
