I'm reluctant to commit it because I don't really understand why it
works.  It was just a shot-in-the-dark kind of thing.. 

Does anybody have any ideas why using I/O port access should work,
while using the memory mapped access wouldn't?  Matt, Doug?

The only thing I can think of is that memory mapped access is
generally broken on the apecs/lca..  But the NCR driver works, and it
uses memory mapped access..
