It turns out that my bogus interrupt scheme was causing problems, perhaps
because the NCR driver didn't like shared interrupts, perhaps because I
had jumpered the NCR card to interrupt B so that it wouldn't lock up on
probe.  I finally got my Plato motherboard to assign two different
interrupts to the two cards, and now I am getting 3MB/sec reads =)
