Does your friend have a Cybervision CV64 (or any other Z3 card)?
Maybe that is the difference?

Well, I couldn't get HDToolBox to set that field correctly even *one* time.
I would *like* to to ignore the messages, but newfs refused to work with the
disk no matter what I tried.

I believed that was the option for disabling sync. transfers, not reselect?
Anyway, one of the first things I tried was 'loadbsd -I ff' but it didn't
work. Obviously there is a difference between binpatching _sfas_inhibit_disc
and -I ff.
