Yeah, it could be caused by BlueSCSI.
I haven't seen the kernel source yet. Any chance to tweak the timing
with boot parameters for troubleshooting or permanent workaround purposes?
I wouldn't mind if it runs slower.

DMA part (including bounce buffer, both for ATARITT and FALCON)
is too complex to refactoring..
Anyway several SCSI drives (including IDE-SCSI converters) work fine
on my TT030.
