Kim DeVaughn is working on a A3000 compatible version of SKsh.  However,
I'm not sure exactly what its present status is, as I haven't been able
to contact Kim recently.

Until then, there is a reported workaround which I have not been able
to verify.  Supposedly, one can run "NoFastMem" to remove fast memory,
then load an SKsh, and then immediately run NoFastMem to put the fast
memory back.  Several people have reported that this works, and that it
need not be repeated for subsequent SKsh's.  I haven't verified this
myself, but you might want to try it.  Hope it helps.
