You can't have both IDE and the hardcard, or any other ST-412/506 controller.
It is also possible that the hardcard can't be used together with any
other drive. 

Had the Copam '286's ST506 controller itsown BIOS or did it use system BIOS?
Try to put setup for D-drive, either to the correct value or to none.
I had to either disable controller BIOS or set SETUP to none, on one 286.
