Your problem is the old ROM on disk II controller card. It doesn't have
any provisions for a "timeout" like the Unidisk 5.25 controller has.
Because your Disk II controller won't ever give up trying to find a disk,
you can't make it try. You'll need a Unidisk 3.5 controller, or convert
the plug on your Disk II drive so it can plug into the smartport.
