You're just BEGGING for trouble with this delay loop solution.
You've already run into the problem which will be exacerbated
as time goes on and those 266's are upgraded to 400's, 800's
and 1G's. You already have to write variations for the 200's
and the 166. When you install that new machine a few months from
now and this weird error pops up the refrain will be heard around
the office "Hmmmm, it should be working. The only thing that's
different is this machine's faster?!?"

If you're doing this on a form it might be better to use a timer,
if not you might look into using an API to handle your delay.

Just my two cents.
