Try setting your drives to Select 2. If I remember right on IBM XT's (& clones)
with the twisted cable, the drive should be select 2. See if setting the drive
jumpers on both of them to 2 will fix the problem...

The reason the system hangs in some configrations is that it's seeing responces
across the command lines but nothing on the data lines (two different
connectors). If you want, configur your system so the two drives hang, then
swop the SMALL cables and see if it helps.

Just groping in the dark... Bring it to Florida & I'll be glad to help!
