I'm not entirely sure I believe that.  1.2.1 reported the same errors
for me with a Jaz on a BusLogic 542B, but -current 'did the right
thing' including figuring out a geometry.  (the geometry it figured
out looked fake, but the sectors per unit value was correct, and i
could believe that it looks fake in the way that it does to make DOS
maximally happy...)
