Same here.  I'm running a 383/20 with MS-DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, and
Crosstalk for Windows version 1.2.2.  Windows and XTALK are on a
STACK'ed drive, and I've never had a problem with my hard disk.

I did, however have a minor problem using COM3 when I upgraded from
Windows 3.0 to 3.1.  I called DCA tech support and they sent me an
upgrade of Crosstalk (1.2.2) that took care of the problem.  You might
want to check further.
