First off, get rid of that 1.0 ROM!  From what I've experienced and what
I've heard, it's amazing that DOS 3.2 works at all.

I've heard that msc5.0 had problems with a Western Digital hard disk
controller that causes similar symptoms.  It was WD's fault, and they
allegedly provided a fix.  I don't know if msc5.1 has the same problem or
not, but I'm pretty sure that someone I know has used msc5.1 on a 6300
with no problems.
