This is exactly the problem I am having on a fast Pentium 4 machine
using the Ricoh 7130A-SK. The CDRW is the sole peripheral on IDE-2
channel. So far I have not resolved the SCSI/IDE crash.

The hang actually isn't in my case. the timer is still incrementing
and if you leave the PC for ages it completes with errors.

Did you resolve your SCSI/IDE error on your machine?
