I realised I had not replied to this email.  With this patch the
driver works fine.  I now have both drives on the Initio SCSI bus and
am running Linux (Yellow Dog), OSX and OS9 with no problems.  A rough
timing attempt (hdparm -t) gave something like 18 MB/sec for the IBM
UltraStar and around 35 MB/sec for the Cheetah.  This is a big
improvement over the built in MESH with its limit of 10 MB/sec!
