This is a read-only register, which is 0 in legacy mode and 1 > in native mode. I suspect the VIA documents do not always mention realities. In all 586/686/8231 PDFs, IDE 0x3d pin designation is consistently noted RO, however, I can change the byte in 686SB to tell NetBSD logic to switch compat or PCI native. Note that 1 means 'pin A' and given deep doubt of the technical possiblity to make the IDE route PCI interrupt out of it, pin A designation would make little sense, I believe.
