Cool... FWIW during my Apple II fossil days I ran across bits and pieces
of info about the IWM and SWIM floppy controllers, so if you get stuck on
obscure bugs send me an email and hopefully I'll be able to dig something
up that will help.

The 2902's (AIC-7856, ahc* at pci?) were available last year for $70 or

it easy to hook up a CD-R and umax scanner using my Apple/Mac cables
(which is why I bought that card, actually).
