I've got some patches around that might fix it, submitted by the
author of the `od' driver.  I've never got round to test them anyway,
but after a Great Cleanup, my MO drive at least takes my one and only
1024-byte cartridge again.

UFS is far more tricky to fix than just the drivers only.  This is why
it works for CD-ROMs: they don't apply to UFS, only to ISO9660.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
