What are the specs?
RAM?
Hardrive? (7.2 or 5.4 krpm?) Size?
Windows; what type? Win98 SE?
Any IRQ-conflict with HD-controller? <-- MAJOR FUBAR-risk
Had IRQ-conflict between my Ethernet-card and my Onboard Controller, and MAN.. that slowed the entire system down to almost nothing. Pretty simmulare to what you describe.
Soundcard?
Mouse? USB or PS2?
General staus or IRQ-adresses, any avalible or are many units sharing?
How many drives? 1 HDD and 1 CD?
Are they Master/Slave or Master on seperatly channels?
EDIT: After reading what you wrote again, it sounds to me that IRQ-conflicts (not obvious once) could verry well be the problem here.
