Hi Graeme !
We had almost the same problem with a similar configuration:
 
A 959KS/200 with 512MB, various F&W SCSI and FL-Disks.
Our maschine crashed from time to time when running Netware/iX,
the emulation for Novell's Netware for the 3000 (I know, you should never force
a 3000 to behave like these PC-boxes...).
Same result: "DEAD B800".
According to HP-support the problem has to do with the streams/ix
subsystem.
 
There is a patch called "STRED99A" that should solve or even "reduce"
the problem.
Hope that helps you !
 
Good luck !
 
Martin Reissner.
