Suprising the urge to hurl my keyboard across the room at people's lack
of research (it is not just you bill so take no personal offense):

1. (I will dig the refs up in a few mins) this has been reported on
multiple drives and ihc9  based controllers.  So it is *NOT* a HW
issue... see the wiki.

2. The only difference between different hardware is the implications of
sw issues... for example I get timeouts but no infinite cycle when
booting from cd
