The Symbiface 2 operates the IDE device in 16-bit data transfer mode. 16-bits of data is buffered at a time within the Symbiface 2 and read via the Data port below 8 bits at a time.

The I/O ports operate in a "pass-through" like mode where the registers directly reflect those of the connected ATA device.

This is the documentation about the IDE registers of the SYMBiFACE II expansion card.
