It should be closed because our probe technology is not going to support
concurrent probes any time soon.

The long delay should be about 3 times longer, unless the second reset
is removed - then the delay should be only 1.5 times longer :-).  (The
second reset is for old MFM drives with unknown timing and is probably
just a waste of time for ATA drives.)
