	Would anyone happen to have, or know where I can get,
information regarding the IDE interface, particularly about the
register and command sets of the IBM IDE controllers?
	I'm considering wiring an interface, and writing a driver so
that the Amiga can use an IBM IDE controller much the same way PaloMAX
allows the use of RLL and MFM controllers.  If its any encouragement,
I plan on releasing the drivers and interface to the public domain, if
possible. 
	An added advantage is that I should even be able to get the
1.44 Meg 3 1/2 drives to work using the same controller, though
probably a different driver.
	So, if you can get me any information on this, please do.
