In Progress.
The SWIM, which is the chip that talks to your floppy, hasn't been
documented by Apple. Also, it's not interrupt-driven, it's polled, so we
HAVE to know the specs about it (or do a lot of good guessing) before any
results can be pulled from it.
I'm (trying) to start work on it. I make no promises.
