Update - I tried the 128 megs of EDO and.....(drum roll) - same old same old.  Well I'm all out of ideas.  Could it be that somehow there never was support for the 440HX chipset with a Pentium "classic" and SIMM Ram?  Anybody??

Maybe you could try the following BSD based live CD: http://www.freesbie.org/

Another possibility is that there is a bad contact somewhere - try to take out every component (cpu, ram, cables ...) and reseat them. And maybe you could try to underclock the system with a FSB of 60 MHz?
