Ahhh, I think you may be wrong - there is a bug in MSH somewhere, because I
have SuperPlan and the LATEST version of MSH (the one w/o the requesters
popping up all the time) and it crashes when used with MSH - saving a file
seems to work, but as soon as I try to read it back, the system crashes.
This does not happen when saving to Amiga disks.  I haven't tried "mixing and
matching" AmigaDOS and MSH filesystems and device drivers yet, and it may show
specifically where the problem lies in MSH.

I am following up this thread to c.s.a., as it doesn't belong here anymore.
