I changed the v1.02 driver on line 999 as follows:

-----------------------------------------
   /* if ( ! (txstatus & TxHostOwns)) supposed fix 1998-09-10 */
   if ( ! (txstatus & (TxStatOK | TxAborted)))
-----------------------------------------

And the Tx timeout error does't occur for about 4 hours.
I continue testing.
