I'm seeing a whole mess of these on my Asus A7V (based on the "VIA
Technologies VT8363 KT133 System Controller (rev. 0x02)").

The device in question is a "PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W8432T, , 1.07". It
works flawlessly when plugged into an ancient Intel Venus board. The
cdrom will only run for 5 or 10 minutes on the Asus board when ripping
CD's before it locks up. I see similar behavior on Toshiba Atapi
drive.
Is there something the Atapi driver could do to reset the bus and
restart the I/O? (NB: this problem does seem to get better when
replacing the old-style IDE cable with a IDE-66 type cable, so its
almost certainly a signal-integrity problem.)
