Yes, tape is the only target on this bus here... From reading the 2.2.8's
driver's source I see the DMA is not "yet supported", although the card
supports it and lets me choose the drq. Still, the amount of CPU it takes
to process an interrupt (CyrixInstead 8x86 at over 200MHz) does not look
right....
