Your problem may very well be the disk drive speed.  A review of the
Astra 1620 disk drive in the June 1985 issue of ANALOG COMPUTING 
mentioned that they couldn't load BLUE MAX at first and the problem 
turned out to be the speed.  Use a good disk drive speed check program
to see what you are set at.  It should be 290 RPM.  The Astra was set
at 300 and was causing problems, so it is fairly critical.

Hope this helps...
