I don't know :/ Maybe we can find more information from some Atari documents.

I used NetBSD 3 based kernel that you posted on port-atari:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-atari/2008/07/21/msg000038.html

IDE worked with that kernel (at least I was able to install base.tgz, etc.tgz
and comp.tgz sets from IDE drive), but NetBSD 3 kernel without patches panicked
with IDE based errors.

I can try wdc_mb.c with ATAC_CAP_NOIRQ enabled and claim_hw/free_hw hooks
removed.
