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! -- Ethan Q: How many Comp Sci majors does it take to change a lightbulb A: None. It's a hardware problem.

I was having the same problem with MSH, without IBEM (I dont have enough memory for IBEM yet) on my 3000. MSH doesnt work right under WB 2.0, but it works fine under 1.3, try using IBEM under 1.3 and see if that fixes it. -- John Sparks |"Help Fight Continental Drift!"| (502)957-4200 2400 BPS D.I.S.K.

Does anyone have the same problem I do when running IBeM with CGA programs? I get an image with every other line missing (it's random, sometimes the even and sometimes the odd lines) and a constant input of some keyboard character (I don't know which one) as if someone were holding a key down. Any ideas? Rick Tillery (drtiller@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu)
