Now, to finally out myself: I am working on a driver. NetBSD/mac68k 1.3 may
have a device driver that can read, write and format 800k GCR floppy disks.

BUT: It is going to be a synchronous driver. As long as the Mac sits on the
floppy, nothing else happens. The driver's a toy.

And: Don't hold your breath for it. :)

MFM? Bug Apple to shell out the SWIM register specs...
