We bought (the original) Hardcard from Plus Development (10MB -- they now
have both 10MB and 20MB versions) about a year ago.  We installed it in an
IBM Portable PC and have used it without any errors of any kind since that
time, carting it on airplanes etc. many times.  It was not the cheapest
one available, but had a good press.  It still has, in my opinion.  They
spent several years developing it, designing it so it occupied only one
slot (not 1-1/2, which would not work in a Portable) and used so little
power it could be added to the original PC without problems.

Maybe you could sell yours and buy one that works better ...
