the word is potentially undefined....
It's all your fantasy this time. :-D
Do start reading the specs attentively. All ATA standards only have that
if bits 14:15 are not 1:0, the words are not valid (as a variant, if the word
is 0 or 0xFFFF).

I've started on PCs, and spent "the best years of my life" with them -- no
need to welcome me. :-)
Perhaps the best we can do is to test
word 80 == 0 && word 83 bit set && word 83 valid
Fortunately the use is almost entirely to print the right CFA/ATA string
at boot ?
What about PIO/DMA modes?
Now Sergei if you'd said that explicitly (or if you did before I didn't
see it) it would have been a bit simpler to work out why you were arguing
the needed for these changes.
If you think that I now have plenty of time to look into all the CF and
ATA standard, you are very wrong. However, you caused me to lose much time on
that pointless argument...
