I just put up MSH on my 3000 also. same problems. It can read msdos disks and
files ok, but it has problems writing to the disk. I put a bunch of files on 
an MSDOS floppy at work and took it home. I could read the floppy fine. I 
copied the files off of it, no problem. But when I tried to erase the files
from the floppy (so I would have room to copy some files to it later) it
got kinda flakey. Under Shell, I said "delete msh:#?.lzh" 
It came back and said "cant find Lock.lzh" (lock.lzh was the first file when
I did a dir). Under CShell 4.01 i said "rm *", and it goes ahead and says
it deleted the files. But it doesn't. when I did a dir after deleting the
files, it shows up as empty, but when  I rebooted and looked at it, the
files were still there.
