	The MRU_UNLOAD_DELAY loop has been changed to be an elapsed
	time loop instead of counter loop.  This makes the same
	value of MRU_UNLOAD_DELAY behave pretty much the same on
	both the TL810 and TL820.  If the current time should change
	out from under the wait, a counter loop is used as a fail
	safe.  The counter used is:

		if( cartridge_unavailable > mru_unload_delay )
			break ;

	This approximates the old behavior.

	The routine used to get the value of MRU_UNLOAD_DELAY has
	a 20 second default, which I guess was a work-around for
	the massive extra delay we were seeing on the TL820.  THis
	needs to be fixed.  Since we're translating time logical
	in at least two places (and perhaps three), a bit of common
	code could be used here:

		mrd_get_delay(char *logical, int default) ;

	Tomorrow...

	Checked and double checked.  Merging the two get_*_delay()
	routines doesn't work, since each keeps a static copy of
	the value, to saving having to do the translate logical
	over and over.  I did change them accept the default value
	as an argument to make changing it easier.
