fit3 protocol driver does not support accessing IDE control registers (device control/altstatus). The DOS driver does not use these registers either (as observed from DOSEMU trace). But the HW seems to be capable of accessing these registers - I simply tried bit 3 and it works! The control register is required to properly reset ATAPI devices or they will be detected only once (after a power cycle). Tested with EXP Computer CD-865 with MC-1285B EPP cable and TransDisk 3000.
