Once you have set up your start address and transfer length you do not need to touch it again, if you are using autoinit. Once reading or writing
is selected, you don't need to change that, either. To ''change'' selecting reading or writing you use the mode register.

Some hardware, as well as VirtualPC do not support autoinit. You may want to set the Mode registers to 0x4A and 0x46 in the above routines, instead.
