OK, attached is the sim710 modified to work for the card I have
(HWP0C80, a SE 710).  It should be fairly easy to add support for
others, we just have to decode their eisa config files.

I've tested mine on x86, and it seems to work.  Unfortunately, I don't
actually have the connectors to cable it up to a non differential narrow
drive, so if someone else wants to test it, I'd be grateful.
