I don't, regrettably. Something about command timed out ("AGAIN"), and
it did this for both the CD-R and the 4mm.
I ripped out disconnect/reselect for both targets (via the flags on
the bus), and it seems to work. I think it's gonna hurt performance,
though.
I was scared for a minute, because I just lost a 3G drive last night,
and I thought it took a couple other things with it.
