Feel very sure, and one piece of "evidence" that backs this up is
that I originally had everything bolted to a piece of wood -- inverter,
PS, circuitry, and HD.  This sat on the car seat and did not have the
crashing.  Later, I moved the circuitry and HD to an aluminum enclosure
and put it on the wood, which was on the car seat.  Same PS.  There
was one crash.  Finally, I moved the whole setup to the car floor,
and it crashes regularly.

Eventually, I intend to move this to the trunk (harsh), so even if
it did not crash now, I would feel very very uncomfortable w/o using
a proper suspension system.

Cheers,
-Neil.
