- Most likely you have the synchronous transfer mode enabled in you battmem
- and your HD either doesn't support or work well with this mode.
- Use the program SETTBAT (it's on AMINET) to check the current settings
- of your battery backed ram. If synchronous xfer is on turn it off and see if the problem
- goes away.
