I have a MyComp 386SX-16MHz and have some real
problems with my HD. When I'm working at
the machine, often the HD hangs!! Under DOS it 
takes about 5-10 seconds before the harddisc 
"decide" to continue it's work....quite frustrating.

Under OS/2 the problems is much more problematic.
When the disc stops up for the first time, it's 
never continue. I then have to RESTART..(funny)..

I have tried several HD's suddenly, so it's not
the disc itself.

What could it be? BIOS, HD-controller,.......???

I have Award Bios, Neat Setup V3.03m, and wonder
also if someone knows about a upgrade of this Bios.
Do anyone know about computers using this BIOS ?

The HD-controller is a IFSP-controller.

Thanks....
