IDE, PCMCIA and MAX_HWIFS... ?

[DavidHo at nanometrics.ca]

Steve,

I'm gonna try this on our board once it comes back from the shop.  Our
board is supposed to have a CompactFlash card and a IDE disk attached.  The
current prototype board has a small problem that kept me from testing them
together.

It will be interesting.
