Excellent, then could we please include this patch in 2.2.15? We
discussed it for 2.2.14, but decided to wait since it was rather
late in the cycle.
Alternatively, we can just rip out the READ_6/WRITE_6 parts. But
with the ability to fall back to the 6 byte variants even your
old MacII disk should be ok ;)
