That is good to know. Hopefully that can also be used to detect which
chip it is, possibly by checking for a mode change failure.

If we suppose the SWIM chip on MacII is at the same address than the  
IWM one, we should be able to use this procedure to know if it is an  
IWM or a SWIM.

It would have to be the same address, since the address decoding logic
is part of the bus interface circuits on 68k macs. Each IO chip just
has a chip select and a few address lines based on what I've seen.
