A few things (all positive :-):
* COOL! ATAPI support!
* This model seems reasonable, provided that this is sort of what
the hardware looks like.
* The floppy driver should be split into fdc.c and fd.c, too.
That would be conducive to adding a floppy tape driver. This
is just a statement of principle, which I thought I'd mention
considering that you suggested doing this to the IDE driver :-)
Ciao.
