Problems with disks and CD-ROMs connected to non-Ultra2 controllers is
confirmed and I think my fix is just about done (currently testing a minor
sequencer change to solve the problem, I cleared SG_COUNT when I shouldn't
have, which meant disconnects in the middle of a transfer spelled death for
the transfer, resulting in a data overrun on reconnect, and this problem only
shows up on non-Ultra2 controllers under real transfers scenarios, which my
testing missed because I was using all Ultra2 controllers, so I built another
test machine with non-Ultra2 controllers to check my fix)
