	I've been running MSH and IBeM on my A3000 with marginal
success. I believe the problems belong to MSH, and not IBeM
(except for the interminably slow speed 8). I can't seem to write
to the drive without the drive just locking, the light left on,
with no head movement.
	I've tried DOS 3.3 and 4.0. Symptoms under 4.0 were the
4.0 INSTALL program locking up from the opening screen. I also
tried deleting the autoexec.bat file from the disk via an
AmigaDOS shell delete command. It said immediately that the file
was deleted. It wasn't. If I typed delete again it would say that
the file wasn't there, but the drive would lock up. If I instead
tried to list the directory, it would simply lock up.
	Under 3.3, I tried saving from a game and it died while
saving. Does anyone have any ideas? IBeM specifies MSH, but can
CrossDOS be used instead?
	Thanks for any help, especially help in speeding up IBeM!
