Still can't get OS3.9 +BB1+2 installed on my 4000T..

I have a similar setup here. AT 4000T, CSMK3, Yamaha CD burner and AmigaOS 3.9. Everything works fine here. I do have...

The latest CSMK3 flash.
The latest Yamaha CD flash and it's hooked up to the 4000T SCSI.
A replaced power supply (old one was flakey). Newegg.com has an Athena 400W AT PS for a reasonable price.

I only have 1 HD hooked up to the CSMK3 and it needs active termination on BOTH ends of the SCSI bus.

You really need to disconnect everthing but the basic hardware and then add hardware until the problem returns. Note all the other suggestions too.

You might run HDToolbox and make sure the newest version of the FastFileSystem is installed in the RDB if you are still using FFS. There is a bugfix patch here...

I would recommend using SFS though. I have been running it for quite a while and it's very good.

Anyone familiar with the CS Mk3 flash updates? Should I install the latest 'official' P5 release, or the slightly newer 'private' releases?

I flashed the latest non-official version. It's done by the same programmer, Ralf Schmidt, I believe.

I wonder if I should replace the PSU while I have the machine in pieces already...

That depends on your cash situation. I will say that power supplies are full of capacitors that do not age well. It's not uncommon for old supplies to be out of spec even though they still operate. The 4000T is just a bog standard AT power supply so they are cheap too. Replacing the power supply helps rule out a common problem that is often difficult to diagnose. It's also handy to have an extra supply to swap in and out for test purposes.
