What you need is the SETSCSI program.  I have recently gotten overwhelmed
for requests for this.  I guess no one knew about the bus on time being
too long for overlapped floppy I/O.  If you will drop me a line, I will
Email it to you.  And that goes for anyone else who is using a floppy
tape in conjunction with the AHA-154x adapter.
