When I try to install Fastback+ (version 2.09) on my Zeos 386/20, the computer
mysteriously hangs in the middle of the Medium test.  I don't get a message of
any sort...the hard drive light stays on, but nothing happens.  I've tried 
using formatted and non-formatted floppies, running the computer at all 
available speeds...any thoughts?

Disclaimer:  I'm not even sure my opinions are mine...they certainly aren't
	     anyone else's.
