OK, that's relatively easy to fix. Simply return early if the drive
claims not to understand the command, and it'll try rc10 without printing
the scary messages. Like this, perhaps (note cunning factoring of code):
(compile tested only, and I'll do you a nice changelog and sign-off for
it if it fixes the problem and you approve of this approach).
