You can get FASTAPE, the DOS program to work at higher bus speeds.  It's
a little odd, but it works consistently.  When you execute FASTAPE on
such a machine, just hold down the space bar (or any key) while it tries
to init the board/drive.  It'll come right up and everything operates
normally after that.
