A Japanese has made a floppy emaulator for IDE; I don't have the
program, but according to Ikeda 'HDDEMU is good program'

something for DOS3

?!
that's the first thing I hear about that !
I don't think that automatic R800 switching belongs inside the IDE bios.
That should be done by the OS. There are programs around for that. (I
believe it was made by Xelasoft) With that driver the IDE transferspeed
is significantly increased (doubled) on Turbo-R.
Also technically speaking it is not possible to call R800 switching
routines from within the IDE bios...
