Mine had been working from 5.0-something to about mid-September, then it
quit working permanently.  I only "fixed" the problem by swapping in a new
motherboard/CPU.

At the end, PIO4 was in fact working and solid.  It was pretty flaky at the
time I filed the PR, but stabilized somewhat afterward.

My gold standard was running Amanda backup.  During regular operation, when
in a UDMA mode, I'd see a few intermittent warnings and a rare crash.  When
I ran Amanda, my system would freeze - every time, guaranteed.  The same
operations in PIO4 were slow but completely successfully.
