	No, the machine is quite unaccelerated.  It is quite confusing actually,
the ProDrive was tested under another card, using the same cable and it worked
fine.  I've tried configurations with both DMA on and off, various lookahead
sizes also.  The drive is a NCS ProDrive 85Q, quantum ELS85S mechanism.
Go figure...  Any ideas???
