Having done several non-standard IDE interfaces before, I can say PIO
mode for the IDE OpenCore would be straight forward to implement. DMA is
always a bit more complicated. I took a quick look thru the OpenCore
documentation. It looks like the core would work on the 8xx bus with
few modifications.

Sure, download our Journeyman product for 8xx, it includes
cross-compilers and 8xx userland. ftp://ftp.mvista.com
