Ciaran,

I applied your patch to my local sources of MAME and built it.

I loaded disk basic with the same setup in Disk Basic and had no issues.

I then decided to try my OS-9 environment that I had originally found this
issue with before.  I ran my stuff and both drive 0 and drive 1 were being
banged away on for roughly 15 minutes without it crashing.  Where before
this fix OS-9 or NitrOS-9 would crash within seconds.

So thank you Ciaran for finding a workable fix for this.
