I've had several hard drives fail over the years on my PC systems at work.
In all cases it was the drive or the controller NOT the computer.  I have
trouble believing the cause was your 3000.  This reminds me of the flames
directed at AmigaDOS in the early years because it crashed so often.
When a program crashes on a PC the machine locks up and it was a program
crash.  When a program crashes on an Amiga, the OS is smart enough to tell
you something about it so it was an OS crash.

I hope if the culprit turns out to be your drive or controller you consider
posting a note of apology to Commodore and all Amiga users for perpetuating
the 'unstable Amiga' myth.
