Environment:

Logi 386 tower (singapore I think)
Award 3.03a bios
CDC 23ms 71M disk
ST4096 80M disk
Microport 2.2L Dosmerge 0.2 beta
Problem:

Disk controller hangs up. Usually on 4096, just few times on CDC.

Checked already:

Cables and 4096 switched two times.  CDC doesn't usually hang unless
wery seldom after 4096 has been accessed just before.
Diagnostics program doesn't find anything strange.

Thoughts:

Has anyone else tried 1006 with microport? Any similar experiences?

Might be bad controller?

Would be nice if it worked, it really speeds it up, emacs loads in 10
secs instead of 40 with 1003.

-------

Keyboard locks up only when using merge kernel, replug cures but is
extremely annoying.

Mail, please.
