I have this problem, too.  I suspect that if two I/O's are going on at the 
same time, the controller gets confused, because the drive activity light 
stays on solid, similar to when you get a "Drive Not Ready" message, which
still occurs occasionally.  However, the HD eventually frees up, and every-
thing takes off again.  Really bizarre.

Ditto with me.  I have a Mitsubishi 65MB RLL drive, with a WD1006-SR1 
controller.  Pretty straightfoward.  No DMDRIVER for me, either, and I use
SMARTDRV.SYS, which makes no difference.

I continue to have problems with my Plus Hardcard II XL 105 and Win 386-
enhanced mode, but Plus has duplicated the problem, and is working on it.
This problem also afflicts the XL 50, and occurs only in enhanced mode.  The
suggested circumvention is to run Windows in standard mode.
