This is clearly a timing problem.  The printf calls are equivalent to
a larger delay in both locations.  I would suggest upping the delay in
both places.

It seems to me that this could be symptomatic of slow inb/outb for this
particular device, in which case, the probe is not the only place you
will need to up the delays to make it actually work.
