Hi Peter,
Yea, it seems to wait for that length of time before the error appears. Here is the log output of the latest patch.

I have applied the patch, and also enabled the IDE polling option. Timeout still occurs. Log included below.
:(
One thing that I have changed which I don't think will affect things (might be wrong here), but my version of GCC/as doesn't support the option -Wno-pointer-sign so I removed it.
Yes, that's ok.
ide_readmany: sector 0 to 0011d7c0 IDE time out waiting for not_bsy
This should be a 32 second timeout. Is it? (32s delay before the time out error) If not, the problem is with timing.
Attached is a new patch with a bit more detailed debugging output, sorry for the hassle, I should already have had this in place. :\
I've also made some small changes to the timer code, not sure if it should matter though.. Try it out.
