I had this identical problem when I first began to load big files and
disk images onto a 20GB IBM Travelstar in an MCE Data shuttle via PCMCIA
card. Quite a disconcerting bugaboo until I found that files would copy
with all extensions off - which was good news. Then I enabled
extensions in small groups with Conflict Catcher, rebooted and tested
file copying until I found the culprits. It turned out, in my case that
it was the Apple Speech Group of extensions that somehow interrupted the
large file transfers.!?! I split this group apart and trial and error
narrowed it down to just the Speech Recognition extension. Everything
works fine now with great speed when that extension is disabled. I can't
think of any specific reason why except for some system call voodoo.
Anyway try this and see.
