[comp.sys.ibm.pc] UNISYS PW2-850/Mitsubishi MP386

I recently purchased the Unisys version of the above Mitsubishi machine and
am wondering if the problems I am having with it are well-known and,
more important, fixable.  Here they are:

1)	The floppy disk drive controller takes three to four seconds before
	it begins doing I/O to the diskette.  The light comes on right away,
	but nothing happens.  Has anyone experienced a similar phenomenon on
	this or some other machine and know what's causing the problem?

2)	My clone EGA card (admittedly a cheap one) which works just fine in
	a Sperry IT, but does not work at all on the PW2.  Anyone have any
	idea why that may be?

Thanks in advance
