I have a problem with two ALR 220 386-20 PCs running
MS-Windows 3.0.  When ever these machines access the A:
drive from Windows, they drop out of Windows, the A: drive 
spins forever, and the display blans as soon as a key is pressed.
Both machines have a MS Bus Mouse board on IRQ3 and a 
3COM 3+OPEN Ethernet board on IRQ5.  Other ALR 220s I support are
set up the same way but work fine with the net and Windows.
There is not any shadow ROM.  Both machine had the A: drive
problem befor the net card was added.  Removing the mouse card
does not help.  The problem only occures in 386ENHN mode.

I am totally stumped.  Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks!
