Yes, on  HPT371 IDE chip on the PCI  bus to interface to compact flash 
to store logs.  For what it's worth I've only ever been able to make PIO 
work, I've never had any luck with the IDE DMA modes.  It hasn't been a 
high enough priority to investigate further.

*_le32, *_be32, _order32 sounds like a good idea.
