It would be useful to see the full tf on those errors.
My experience with PATA drives and CF cards, it that they
default to PIO4 (assuming they report supporting PIO4).
So we don't actually need to do a set xfer mode on them.

Is the full IDENTIFY data available (hex, please)?
Perhaps we can recognize this beast and just handle it
differently when detected.

Is it the CF card, or the CF adaptor, that's the problem?

Many questions, not many answers (yet).
