What kind of timeout? The mbxout one from aha174x or a different one
(from sd.c or st.c ?)?
Tapes are slow, they may easily trigger timeouts (because of that the i/o
timeouts in st.c are close to infinity, but if a disk is on the same SCSI
Bus and something is suboptimal with disconnection setup, a long running
tape i/o may easily delay some sd disk i/o where timeouts are fairly
short).
