It's hard to suggest a solution if it is a mechanical problem (at
least without looking at it --- cleaning the contacts springs to
mind).  However, I had similar problems which went away only after a
reboot (and, in one case, a total reset) --- but obviously this isn't
a viable solution if you do not have a backup of the data stored on
the PC3k.

Sure, up to 32MB.

Very likely.  Have a look at

Hope this helps
