Dear readers,
 
I've a problem which my local hardware-farmer can't solve. But I'm sure,
somebody out here must be able to help me.
The system I have is a AT-clone, with a NEAT 286 (16/20 Mhz) motherbord,
 AMI bios.
I resently bought a Bernoulli drive, 20 Mbyte 5.25 inch from
Mountain Computer Inc.
This includes a special (full size!) 8 bits card.
And some software. (with a special driver: RCD.SYS).

 
This combination works fine, if my computer is running at 10 Mhz.
But if I switch it to 16 Mhz (or 20, what is also possible) 
the interface card doens't recognize  the drive anymore, and I get the
error message: "No RCD drive found".
 
Question: what is wrong? 
The installation manual describes how to instal this card/drive into a
Compaq 386 machine, so it should be able to handle speeds higher than
10 Mhz. 
The bus on the motherbord is (as far as I know) not affected by 
the alteration of low to high speed. So that should be the problem.
 
Please help. What is (can be) wrong.
Btw. I have no problems with any other cards in my system.
