There is not a contradiction between the statements that someone
has Microport working with an ide drive ( which I believe since
the ide interface is supposed to emulate standard AT registers)
and a statement by Microport that ide is not supported by V/At.
Not supported can simpley mean ide didn't exist when v/at came
out and thus has not been tested by them, and therefore they are
not prepared to be responsible for it.
