Alison Schary (aqs@paxvax.EE.CORNELL.EDU) and I worked out a
minimal mod to ultra14.c. The patch included below has been
blessed by Julian and passed on (I hope) to the assorted *BSD*
camps. As you can see it boiled down to being more patient on
board timeout. In my experience the extra time was needed only
on the first access.
This has been tested with both disk (me) and tape (Alison)
devices.
