On a single master PATA port we can have access to  256 pins,
16 groups of 16 pins(2 drives x 8 addresses x 16 bits),
each group being only read or write;
Is my math correct ?

Is hal_parport.c the proper file to modify for 16 bit I/O over PATA
ports ? 
Are other files to be modified ?

Sorry for my english
