So, please tell me, why do ya think this might be originated somewhere
in the X code? X doesn't do anything with your disk drives, it even
doesn't know something about them. The only question regarding X is:
some video boards tend to block the whole machine (not necessary only
at a disk access) if the bus clock is too high. David Wexelblat reported
this phenomenon, and he told, configuring the video board to have a
more relaxed timing (some boards have jumpers), or reducing the bus clock
*might* help. (It's always a good idea to keep the bus clock at the
standard value of 8 MHz.)
