I pretty much use the lasted everything, even without memory protection
and while learning assembler the past 2 months or so I have caused virtually
every kind of crash you can imagine.  Total freezes ups and even sudden
reboots, bombs, you name it.  Not to mention my assembler work involves
reading and writing files, and I have not had any HD problems whatsoever.

To be honest I am amazed at the abuse my MiNT system withstands on a daily
basis!  ;o)  This is an 060 as well.

May I ask what development package you are using?
