Subject: Tape Drive makes Floppy Drive Slow?

I just changed my motherboard from 286 to 386-sx.  Also, I put a Colorado
Jumbo Tape Drive into it.  To save the money for a card, I connect the tape 
drive to the cable which was connected to my two floppy drives (1.2 and 1.44).
Now, this cable connects a tape drive and two floppy drives.  I can use all 
three of them.  However, I found that my floppy drive access becomes a little 
bit slower.  Is this the price I pay for not using a 'tape drive' card?
Or it may be a problem (defect) of my new motherboard or the old disk card 
(MFM)?
Thank you.
