Summary:

I tried to mail this to zerkle@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu, but it failed.
It is of more general interest anyway.

You wrote about the devio.c source file:

This is what I am currently using. It looks reasonable to me, but is
not documented, and I suspect it is this part that gives trouble on
the 3000. I hope someone will tell me what the documented way to do
this is. And that should then fix the problem. I hope.

Maybe you could help somewhat by verifying my theory. If you have Xoper
or some other task monitor program, you could try to write to a disk
and then look at the status of MSH: and the messydisk.device. If
the device remains waiting for a signal when it should be writing to
the disk, this confirms my theory. If you can, please let me know
the results with all details of such a test.
