[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Imprimis Swift with 2090

The day before yesterday I got my new harddisk, an Imprimis Swift 177 megs
drive. 
Performance screams - look at this:

DiskPreformance - V3.0 - 03/21/89

Testing drive dh0: with small files (floppy mode)

File create/delete:	create 21 files/sec, delete 62 files/sec
Directory scan:		250 entries/sec
Seek/read test:		324 seek/reads per second

r/w speed:	buf  1024 bytes, rd 163840 byte/sec, wr 56987 byte/sec
r/w speed:	buf  8192 bytes, rd 655360 byte/sec, wr 327680 byte/sec
r/w speed:	buf 32768 bytes, rd 1310720 byte/sec, wr 655360 byte/sec
                                    ^^^^^^^

However, where there is light, there is also shadow, and evil shows in a
mysterious form (oh my, I should stop to play those role playing games :-)

SetCPU fastrom doesn't work anymore! When I issue the command and don't
acces the drive, it works, but as soon as I do a dir dh0: or try to load
something, the system hangs, I have to reboot.

Any ideas what curse this is?
