No. The GL-SFT1200 is the only SF19A2890 board I have, and the only
other one I know of, the vendor's evaluation board in OpenWrt, also has
a fixed-link on this port.

I can't tell that from this board. The sweeps measure the sum of the
MAC's delay line, the switch and the PCB, and I have no documentation
of the line's own delay at step 0.

What they do show, in the MAC's steps: the windows repeat every 8 ns,
which puts the start of both eyes about 4 steps (0.2 ns) below 0. TX
ends at step 51 and RX at step 28. So with every delay at 0 the link
works, but right at the early edge of both eyes.

Until that is known, how would you like v2 to describe this board?
