Read / Write Control (R/WC) — R/W. This bit sets the direction of the bus master

active (i.e., the Bus Master IDE Active bit (D31:F2:BAR + 02h, bit 0) of the Bus
Master IDE Status register for that IDE channel is set) and the drive has not yet
finished its data transfer (the Interrupt bit in the Bus Master IDE Status register for
that IDE channel is not set), the bus master command is said to be aborted and
data transferred from the drive may be discarded instead of being written to
system memory.

configuration space is also set. Bus master operation begins when this bit is
detected changing from 0 to 1. The controller will transfer data between the IDE
device and memory only when this bit is set. Master operation can be halted by
writing a 0 to this bit.
