if it is an SDLC type card, you may want to try running it at lower
 speed; i.e. if the 386SX is 16mhz, drop it to 8mhz.  I have noticed
 this kind of an error with the IBM SDLC card when running with IBM
 3270 software.  Incidentally, this same card with non-IBM software
 seems to work fine on all systems.  I suspect that the delay between
 two I/O instructions is fixed and maybe on faster machines the delay
 is not enough for the SDLC communications chip.

Good Luck.
