We had used that in the past, can't remember when it got changed or
why. There's a vague echo of this breaking with some change to the IDE
core (lock acquired for each new request but released only after all
requests on the hwif had completed).

Again this suggests the ATAPI emulation in ARAnyM is at fault.

Anyway, I've hooked up a CF driver as IDE slave yesterday and copied a
few MB around - no errors seen so far. I'll exercise that a bit more
today to make certain. Need to find a IDE cable adapter to hook up a
CD-ROM to test that config ...
