Yes, on both the Promise and on the 686a.  But the device revisions are
different.  The machine that does NOT work:

00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super] (rev 1b)
00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586 IDE [Apollo] (rev 06)

The machine that works:

00:04.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 [Apollo Super] (rev 22)
00:04.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586 IDE [Apollo] (rev 10)

The one the works is a 1 GHz Athlon, and the other is an 800 MHz
Pentium-III.

Who waits 10 minutes for a timeout?  Can it be lowered?

Expect another mail with the data you requested within a couple of hours.
