This is for c3000/j5000/et al workstations.
NS "SuckyIO" multifunction chip includes ns87415 compatible IDE controller.

This is something different - but I'd think this is needed too.
Make sure this isn't a merge error (ie see if it's defined elsewhere).

This looks more familiar to me..but I'd need to review the whole tree and
can't do that right now.

If they are no longer referenced, that's fine.
I didn't really want these published in a header file if they are still
referenced.  But it's not a big deal if they are.

That's fine with me.
If AD had published decent specs for this chip, we could actually
get it workng. I only hacked around on it enough to get DMA sort of
working and *some* sounds came out of it.

yes - that's good

good too

I need the above changes in a format that I apply with "patch -p1 < diff"
(or -p0) if you want me to commit them.
