I don't know why 16 bit access to the I/O area don't work at the Hades. I
tried swapping and not swapping the bytes, but in either case I don't get
a working screen. Therefore I deceided to use single byte access, because
this works and this code is only used for initializising the card. I don't
think this will slow down the server in a notable way. At the
W32 server (OK, this is not of interest for you) the access to the
accelerater is done by 16- and 32bit access. But the accelerater registers
are not in the I/O area, their are part of the frame buffer.
