After adding a Fujitsu 230MB magneto optical drive via the
od0 device driver, I started getting the following SCSI
errors.  It sounds as if the od driver doesn't give the
drive enough time to spin up, so it times out and reissues
the command.  After four or five attempts, it usually aborts
and prints "input/output error", though sometimes the kernel
locks up hard.

Can anyone speculate as to what might be happening?  Better
yet, can anyone suggest a course of action?

I'm using an NCR 53C810-based card, with a Quantum drive
at ID 0 and the Fujitsu at ID 1.  The kernel is 2.1R.

Thanks.

-David.
