I confirm, I have the same values in this register here on PowerMac
G3/300 desktop (without any IDE device plugged in) and in PowerBook G3
Series. I didn't check the iMac yet but it looks like an heathrow thing.
if you don't find a similar thing on O'Hare, I suggest checking the
"compatible" property of mac-io against heathrow before putting anything here.
