This is a known problem with Thinkpad machines: the PCMCIA device
drivers installed on it create some conflict with DJGPP (and other
protected-mode DOS programs). The only solution I know of is to
uninstall these drivers. Here are the lines from your CONFIG.SYS that
you need to comment out:

It is possible that the problem could go away by uninstalling only
part of these drivers, but I don't have access to a Thinkpad machine
to experiment. A user reported in the past that removing all of them
solves the problem.
