This does'nt sound like the drive format. 1:1 is fine. I use the same drive but
on a Z386/25 if you don't have the bios setup properly the computer is a slug.
Try cache=on q=1 or 16 if you have the cache ram installed. I use the same
controller and drive and the transfer rate in the zenith Z386/25 was very
respectable ( don't remember the figures). Now I use it in a DTK 386/33 and it
works great.
