I've never experienced a freeze up on my  170. And I have left it just
sitting for hours on end, so I think it would have happened. It can get
pretty hot, I don't think the HD spins down.

It's such a basic machine, and I don't have a lot of hard drive,  I didn't
load x. Just the basic stuff to run CLI. The 030 seems pretty zippy in that
mode.

I tried to boot 1.5 and couldn't get it to complete. It panicked and
reported pretty much the same info that I saw reported a day or so ago, (on
a Q700 I think). Maybe you'll have better luck.
