This is completely dead code right now. The IDE code has been copied
from QEMU, but ATAPI support has never been enabled / tried in Hatari.
IIRC I was also not aware of any Atari software which was able to use
ATAPI - but sounds like HD-Driver is now able to do so?

Anyway, this likely needs quite a bit of work to get in a usable shape
in Hatari. I don't plan to work on this anytime soon, but if you get it
working, patches are welcome.
