	I am not good in IDE interface, but have my PCMCIA driver working for several 
years with PCMCIA ATA flash cassettes. The ATA interface seems to be very 
similar to the IDE (if not the same).
	So may be this tip will be useful: the PCMCIA interface has TWO fields (with 
possible gap) of registers - CIS area where you define many parameters and 
between them your mode of operation (PIO, IDE, memory mapped...) and ordinary 
registers (event, data, status, etc.)
