Thanks Wolf. This is exactly what Landon told me. He really saved
some development time. BTW, ATA devices don't map any data to RAM.
There is a zone where you can read data, which can be rather large
(in memory mode), but each read increases the cursor and the next
read, whatever the address is, gives the next word.
