When I started recording a song, the following happened:
After 42 seconds the counter stopped and it was impossible
to stop the recorder. The harddisk was not working. The red
"record" light in each of the 6 channels was on and it was
not possible to turn it off. It was not possible to shut down
the system. The click was still clicking, even when I pressed
stop. At the end I had to power it off without doing a real
shutdown.

Repeating this procedure the next time it stopped at 1:20,
then again at 0:42, then at whatever.
I did another try with only 5 channels recorded simmultaneously
and it stopped after 2:40


Sounds to me like it's broken. If it will let you put that many tracks
into Record simultaneously, you shold be able to record them. I'd call
TASCAM Tuesday morning unless there's something in the manual about
disk maintenance that you can try in the meantime. At least you don't
have any projects recorded that you don't want to lose, so if there's
a disk reformatting tool, you might try that. It might tell you that
there's something wrong with the drive.
