When you type "d:<Enter>) at 
the DR-DOS prompt, does the 
drive letter in the prompt 
change, and if so, can you 
execute a DIR command and see 
filenames listed?  Is the D: 
drive acessible if you boot 
from a DR-DOS floppy or, for 
that matter, an MS-DOS or 
Win9x boot floppy?

What I suspect is that the 
C: drive in the 586 is one of 
those that has a different 
jumper setting for "single-
drive" and "master with slave 
present."
