New information on this one.  The drive was a Seagate ST36530a, and a
firmware update was available both from Seagate technical support as
well as from IBM's web site (machine was Intellistation M Pro).  This
machine is now unplagued by interrupt timeouts.

People in similar situations may wish to investigate whether a
firmware update is available for the drives in question.  Heck, I
didn't even know that one could update the firmware in EIDE drives.
Update utility required DOS bootup from floppy.

A bug in my MUA causes news.announce.newusers                            font
