There are 3 ports involved.  The 0xed "non-existant delay port" and a pair
of ports that are through the Super-I/O / IDE.  They are used in a
index+value setup similar to reading/writing the AT keyboard controller.

From what I remember, my conclusion was that these instructions were the
ones to park the heads and then lock the IDE bus.  It's a couple of months
ago, but somewhere I have the simplified version of what it was doing...
