I realised I had not replied to this email. With this patch the driver works fine. I now have both drives on the Initio SCSI bus and am running Linux (Yellow Dog), OSX and OS9 with no problems. A rough timing attempt (hdparm -t) gave something like 18 MB/sec for the IBM UltraStar and around 35 MB/sec for the Cheetah. This is a big improvement over the built in MESH with its limit of 10 MB/sec!
