I recently installed the new IBM1S506.ADD 12-19-92.  I was happy that I could
now see the remainder of my 630Mb ESDI Drive (>1024 cyl) but I now seem to
be having some problems that I have never experienced.

1) I am now experiencing TOTAL (I mean total) lock-up of OS/2 periodically
   and they seem to be disk related. (Once after a cold boot I decided to 
   reformat a DOS partition and before it started OS/2 locked up)

2) During a TE/2 download I decided to go to DOS and run a game to pass the
   time.  I had just installed a PAS-16 Board that a friend loaned me and
   was curious to see if it worked.  Well OS/2 locked up tight and when I
   brought it back up I was horrified to see CHKDSK start erasing corrupted
   files on the same HPFS partition as the TE/2 download directory. All the
   files it erased were not open at the time of the crash.

If anyone could give me any help I would apreciate it.  I have already 
expanded into the extra space and would find it hard to go back to the old
driver.

My system is a DTK 386/33 w/ 8MB. Fujitsu 630Mb ESDI HD and WD1007SE2 
controller. PVGA using the 800x600 Generic drivers and I am running GA+SP.
