I also have HappyENV, FBlit 3.51a, FText, CMQ060Move16, BBag1 & TweakWB
installed on my 3.5 setup, with no problems.
Surely it must be MCP causing your problems?

It is a good idea, but may prove hard to implement.
Executive runs fine here, and smothes things out as always.

Currently I use AGA also, but I am waiting for a BVision card to arrive soon
so I can get things running in all their colourfull glory!
I use 16 col WB atm. (Nasty!)
The tower conversion is well worth it if you intend to add multiple hard
drives/CD drives/other drives to you system.
Lots of drive bays=V.Nice And ya get an uprated power supply too!
Trust me, having your CDROM drive in a tower case that houses the miggy also
is much nicer than having one trailing from the back of your 1200!
also, if the keyboard gets knackered, just buy a repalcement from any ye
olde PC shope for about £10!

I use BOOTVGA:Productivity 656x495 16 col (BootVGA is on FlashROM of PPC
card),
leaves about 1750k, fairly stable (I use Voyager3, so there you go :-) some
crashes (See previous), no memory leaks, the occasional lockup (which
sucks, but never mind)
