I few months ago I got a 13gb IDE disk.
To make it work in DOS, it uses a driver called ontrackd.sys which
somehow
allows DOS to use the Int13 extensions and access type F extented
partitions.

This driver causes all programs made with DJGPP 1.x to wedge solid
instantly.
My conclusion is that it is causing the GO32 extender some grief,
although
exactly how I'm not sure.

I want to run these programs.  Has anyone heard of this before?
Does anyone know roughly what part of the extender is malfunctioning?

I am using only himem.sys (and umbpci) there is no EMM386 or VCPI to
use,
and providing one doesn't seem to help.
