I use 5.07, and occasionally boot into TOS. It doesn't happen very often
though, perhaps once or twice a year...

This has never happened to me. I have never used anything else than 5.07,
even with MagiC, and it's generally very stable.

Nemesis and Afterburner are not the ideal partners that Titan claims ;-) After
a *lot* of tinkering I've managed to get my AB/Nemesis combo stable in 40MHz,
but any SCSI-access fails. Usually it just locks my Falcon, but quite often
it destroys data as well. Because of this I've almost stopped running my
Falcon in 40MHz, simply because I tend to forget it and try to access my
SCSI-drive...
