I recently installed an Intel Inboard PC 386 board in a real XT and
encountered some problems.  I want to know who (if anyone) else has seen
similar things.
First, my 20 meg Seagate drive generates seek errors (it NEVER did this
before)  It is so bad I'm going to replace it as soon as I complete a
"women and children first" backup.  These seek errors persist for
certain files even when the speed is bumped down or extra wait states
added to hard disk requests.  Also, the machine now fails on occasion to
boot up.  The disk whirrs, but no video (not even a cursor) comes on.
This means no memory count, no boot, - just a big desk heater.
  has anyone else got similar negative reports to make, or glowing
positive reports?  Is it going to nuke my new disk as well? (at least
this one will be nuked under warranty)
