I would be interested, however cannot spend time right now to work
on that subject.

Just some random bits I found in the web:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeviceManagers/pci_srvcs/pci_cards_drivers/PCI_BOOK.250.html

The Interesting part is:
"Thus, the address swizzle is completely transparent to software."

So, I would just try to setup some memory mapping and turn on little endian
mode to access that area... MMMV. Just a guess.
