	I just added an Ehman 60+ HD to my 512KE (MagicSCSI.)  I am
running Finder 5.5 and System 4.1 (the most advanced Apple recommends
on the 512KE.)

	Sometimes (yesterday) it works fine, I can copy to it, boot
from it, copy from it, all just fine.  Sometimes, however...

	Like today.  I'm trying to copy things over to it so I can
stop using floppies except for transport.  At the end of every-other
copy it dies with a system error #02 (improper mem. write, if I
remember correctly.)  Eventually it required reinitialization.  So
now I have 62 meg worth of useless memory under my machine.

	I tried reformating on this machine (the disk came pre-formated)
and testing, and found no bad blocks and the format went just fine.  At
this point I'm getting a little frustrated.  Has anyone else had this
problem, and, if so, did you find a fix?

	I couldn't decide if this was a hardware or a system problem,
so I'm posting it here.  Mail or posting is ok, if there is any usefull
mail I'll summarize.

Summary:  Can not copy to HD.
	  Mac512 with 128k ROMs and 800k drive.  Works fine without HD.
	  Ehman 60+ hd, new (installed Thursday night.)  SCSI id#6, terminated.
	  MacProducts MagicSCSI scsi-port daughterboard (clipon)
	  Running Finder 5.5 and System 4.1.
