31.Sh NAME
32.Nm iwm ,
33.Nm fd
34.Nd floppy disk driver for IWM and non-DMA SWIM controllers.
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.Cd "iwm0 at obio?"
37.Cd "fd* at iwm0 drive ?"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver interfaces to the built-in and external floppy disk drives on the
42Macintosh. It supports double-density media, written in
43Apple's proprietary GCR format. Currently, there is no disklabel
44support for the floppy drives. Instead, the
45.Nm
46driver sets up a fake in-core disklabel, using the minor device
47number to select from the supported disk formats.
48.Pp
49The following formats are supported:
50.Bl -column header Partition Size sides tracks sectors/track
51.Sy    "Partition   Size   sides  tracks  sectors/track"
52    a       800Kb    2      80          10          (default)
53    b       400Kb    1      80          10
54    c       800Kb    2      80          10
55.El
56.Pp
57(The above table describes the logical mapping as implemented by the
58driver; the physical layout of GCR floppies has 8..12 sectors per track.)
59.\"
60.Sh FORMATTING
61The
62.Nm
63driver does currently not support floppy disk formatting.

76.Sh HISTORY
77The
78.Nm
79interface first appeared in
80.Nx 1.4 .
81.\"
82.Sh AUTHORS
83Hauke Fath put together the beginnings of the
84.Nm
85driver in 1996 from the sparse documentation in "Inside Macintosh",
86Neil Parker's "iwmstuff" documentation for the Apple IIgs and a long,
87hard look at the .Sony driver.
88.\"
89.Sh BUGS
90The FFS code is incapable of dealing with a varying number of
91sectors per track. We have to fake a mapping and so lose FFS support
92for hardware parameters like transition times.
93.Pp
94The driver only supports an obsolete format.
