OK, so it's trivial to add them into INT $13 and make available for
WDE disk editor, IDEcheck, NTSC4DOS and other "DOS-independent"
tools based on INT $13, but DOS won't see them for a known design
fault of itself ... what IMHO could and should get fixed. Allowing UIDE to add
them into INT $13 (while now no DOS will see them) still would be a good
idea IMHO. BTW, do you support MW-DMA ? I've been pretty happy with
XDMA 3.1 up to now (no SATA, no AHCI), but it doesn't support MW-DMA.
