I encounter a problem that may be similar and I would like to have
some suggestions. I have a Deico 386 board with 2 WD 80Mb drives.
The system runs fine under DOS 3.3 and in real mode Windows, but it
hanged in 386 enhanced mode. Finally I narrowed the problem by 
disconnecting the second disk, which immediately enabled the enhanced
mode (the system has also 8M RAM and a fully populated Trident).
It is really weird (Windows is not supposed to interact with the 
hard disk controller...)
