If anyone else isn't interested in doing this, and there are
no objections to having it done, then I would be willing to
look at moving to the iowrite interfaces.
The only other way would be to add an 8/16bit configuration
to drop the use of writesb, as I belive most people connect
these devices in 16bit mode.
