My guess is that the 286 accelerator is designed for a 4.77Mhz IBM PC
bus, and therefore always assumes that that is what it is dealing with.
Consequently, it does slower transfers than your original 8Mhz turbo XT.
As a result of this, it misses the interleave on your hard drive (as I 
recall the original IBM-PC plus hard drive used 4:1 or 5:1 interleave).
