just got to wondering... if i were to take an old XT style MFM controller
and plug it into my 386 after re-jumpering it to non-standard irq and port,
how possible would it be to hack the driver so i could access both my
ide and the mfm.  (I have some old mfm drives hanging around gathering
dust... seemed like a cheap way to get a little more disk space)
