    I'd like to know what do you mean by "it" since it's certainly not in 
8038i spec I have.

    That looks like ""Intel PCI IDE Controller Specification".

    You probaly mean PC targeted controllers, since quite many non-PC chips do 
ignore that spec (IOC4, PowerMac, Toshiba SCC)... As for CS5520, what's the 
deviation here -- BMDMA regisrters at BAR2 only?
