I just have one comment and one question. The model check looks like
it will end up printing out a warning message on the AV models. You
should add them explicitly to the unsupported list the way you did
for the IIfx and Q900/Q950. Also, I'm not sure this driver would
work on a Mac II. They didn't originally ship with a SWIM chip at
all, but that was available as an upgrade. From the factory they
came with the old IWM chip. It's not clear to me if the driver uses
any of the SWIM features other than the capability to detect and
read high density media which the old drives obviously don't do.

Other than that, it's good to see someone working on this.
