The reason for the original (20ms, then 50ms) timeout was this text
from the ATA1 specification, long since outdated:
- Upon receipt of a Class 3 command, the drive sets BSY within 400 nsec,
sets up the sector buffer for a write operation, sets DRQ within 20
msec, and clears BSY within 400 nsec of setting DRQ.
Cheers
