...this wasn't a Kyma problem after all, though it seemed like it due to how the lockups were mostly triggering. It seemed that there were most often lockups when I was running Kyma and Logic Audio Platinum. I went ahead and reinstalled the OS from the ground up, and enabled one card at a time to see if I could narrow down the possibilities. It turns out that it was an issue between my USB MIDI router (emagic Unitor 8 MK II), the USB chipset on my motherboard, and Windows 98 SE.

Basically, Kyma would run fine, Logic would run fine, but when I tried to run them together, I'd get random lockups.

I dug a patch out from the Microsoft web site that addressed some issues with Windows 98 SE and certain ABIT motherboards. After installing it, things have been working like a charm, and I am very, very, very relieved.

Now I can get back on the road to playing with my Kyma. Sorry for any false alarms I might have caused you. Other ABIT motherboard / Kyma users might benefit from installing the Microsoft patch if they have lockup problems. I know that I did! :^)
