I have a DTC EISA IDE controller.  I would think there would be a way to
do 32bit IO transfers to the card.  Could it be as easy as reworking wd.c
to use outsd() and insd() instead of outsw() and insw()?  The routines 
would have to be added to locore.s, of course.  Does the card need to be
told to expect 32bit transfers?

I'm sure someone has done this already.
