Yes, it seems to run fine with IRQ/disconnect disabled.
With IRQ enabled, "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=anything" stops after a while. I get 
gated 53C80 IRQ, BASR=0x10, MODE=0x0e, STATUS=0x7c.

When I enable interrupts during PDMA (like the removed UNSAFE macro did), the 
problems go away. I see an IRQ after each pread call.
(had to disable "no 53C80 gated irq after transfer" and "no end dma signal" 
messages to reduce log spam)
