The IWM chip (the Mac floppy controller) is a descendant of the Apple
][ disk controller and quite different from the everyday FDC. Instead
of configuring your FDC, sending a command and sleep()ing until it
completes, you have to do everything by hand.

That means: Sit on the floppy's head, look for a header ID and read &
decode the header. If it indicates the sector you want, read the
sector data and decode it while you're reading (a fairly complex
scheme, and one of apple's best kept secrets, too). Continue at will;
similarly for writing.

Now, did you miss the word "interrupt"? -- There is none. The IWM runs
entirely in polled mode, all interrupts disabled. The MacOS .Sony
driver polls one serial port during disk I/O to maintain LocalTalk
connectivity; other than that, the machine is locked.

Floppy drive registers:

1. Status bits:

The result of the query for 'Param' is returned in Bit 7 of q7L, which is 
usually checked by a bmi/bpl branch.

(1)   After step is done, wait ca. 30 <20>s before issuing next step command; 
otherwise steps tend to get lost.

(2)   The SWIM & SuperDrive apparently use DRVIN (0x0F) to distinguish between 
DD and HD disk media and check for an installed drive with 0x0D.

Disk commands are formed by the CA1, CA0, SEL lines. For a given command 
code CA2 acts as a parameter bit.



Reading a GCR sector header
===========================

A sector header on a Macintosh 400/800K GCR disk consists of 

o  a three byte lead-in: '0xD5 0xAA 0x96'
o  current track byte, sector byte and side bit, encoded in four bytes plus 
   a one byte checksum
o  a two byte lead-out:  '0xDE 0xAA'

The lead-in and lead-out tokens are evaluated 'as is'; the content area
is subject to further processing.


1. Remapping

The byte values that the IWM can write to / read from disk reliably are 
subject to several constraints: 

o  They may not equal any reserved values (header markers)
o  Bit 7 == 1 for hardware synchronization
o  No more than one pair of consecutive zero bits
o  At least one pair of consecutive one bits

These constraints leave 64 valid bytes in the range of 0x95..0xFF. 
For convenience, this range is mapped to a continuous range of 
0x00..0x3F -- this rule applies to all user data on the disk.


2. Contents

For byte 1, the current sector number, the offered range is large enough; no 
further processing is needed. The same applies to byte 3 (function?).  
Byte 0 & 2 hold the side bit and the current track number; some further 
massage is needed to extract their values.

o  Byte 1: Bits 6&7 are dropped, Bits 0..5 leave a range of 0..63.
o  Byte 2: Bits 0&1 become bits 6&7 of Byte 1. Bits 2..5 (range 0..0x0F)
   hold further information:
      2 - ?
      3 - ?
      4 - ?
      5 - 0 = side 0, 1 = side 1


3. Checksum

The checksum of the header content area is evaluated by XORing bytes 0..3; 
the result must equal byte 4. (Alternatively the result of XORing all five 
bytes can be checked against zero.)



Reading GCR sector contents
===========================

(to be done)



Disk Zone Mapping
=================

The first 12 sectors for an 800K disk map to side 0, track 0, sectors 0-11,
similar to the corresponding sectors on the 400K disk. The next 12 sectors for
the 800K disk map to side 1 in a similar manner--side 1, track 0, sectors 0-11.
Logical sectors 24-36 map to side 0, track 1, sectors 0-11, and so on. The
following table demonstrates this:

Side    Track    Sectors      Physical     Logical
                Per Track      Sectors     Sectors
