Rick:

I tried this (re-install without other expansion card) but other
errors crashed the system.

I did a low level format with Troubleshooter then re-zeroed
out the drive with WDDIAG (from WDC) and have re-installed
Windows 95. Appears to be working but this drive is not
within acceptable comfort levels. It'll get replaced.

Thanks, Rick, and to those others who sent me advice
privately.
