Maybe it's possible to poll the drive's BSY register, so that the
driver is truly synchronized with the drive?

Anyway, I should probably construct some mechanism for small,
calibrated delays such as this. But for now, I think to do nothing, or
something simple like (dotimes (i 500)) will be good enough.

Any success with reading or writing yet?
