I'm not _quite_ sure if it can be done in software; maybe you would
have to set a jumper or exchange the controller ROMs. BTW: Old Macs 
have the same problem, so maybe Syquest has a "Mac version" of their 
controller firmware. 

TOS 2.06 fixed this problem by making at least two read attempts
from each device on the ACSI bus, so that's another possibility
to solve the problem.
