[PATCH 06/31] swim: Configure parameter memory

From: Finn Thain

Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 06:22:49 EST


The original SWIM chip has a 16 byte memory to store parameters which
control read/write timing. The SWIM 2 chip retains the last 4 parameters
which control write pre-compensation, but omits the first 12. Hence
SWIM 2 can perform reads without any parameter memory setup but SWIM 1
cannot.

Configure the SWIM parameter memory with the appropriate values so that
SWIM 1 can read too. The parameters used here were observed in SWIM chip
memory, using Macsbug, while MacOS was reading from an MFM floppy disk.

Fixes: 8852ecd97488 ("m68k: mac - Add SWIM floppy support")
