Another problem is that
	- IDE of the PC-98 has two IDE buses.
	- They are connected only one IDE controller through the
	  `switch.'
	- The `switch' is controlled by the I/O port access.

Also, there are some third-party products of IDE I/F whose hardware is
very similar to that of IBM-PC's IDE I/F.  So, PC-98 should support
both architectures.
