I recently had a problem with Win3.1 and installing a second HD.
This is a Followup post to that problem.

I have a 386 SX IBM compatible computer that has an Appian Technology
mother board using a modified Quadtel BIOS. This is an Appian Technology
modification and in no way reflects on the Quadtel BIOS.
I would highly recommend against buying any products from Appian
Technology. There is a serious bug in the Appian BIOS modification that
prevents using a second IDE hard disk when running MS Windows as well as
several other software packages.
I contacted Appian Technology technical support and after getting the
run-around for a couple of weeks, they freely admit their BIOS has bugs
and that the programmers have since moved on to other companies. "SORRY"

Their solution was quite simple.... Don't install a second HD.
This was their solution to my problem. I imagine their attitude would be
similar for any products they market.
