Has anybody got any experience with the catweasel floppy disk controller availiable from Individual Computers? I have one, and it is set up properly but the software supplied cant read copy protected disks.

Any ideas?

I don't think the purpose is to read copy-protected disks. Does it claim to support them? I always figured this device was useful for transferring images and reading AmigaDOS(ish) disks. What purpose are you using it for?

Twist is right (as most of the time :laugh ) ! The Catweasel Controller wasn´t ment to read copy protected disks, it just allows a PeCe to read/write Amiga Disks (AFAIK also NDOS is supported, but thats nothing to do with copy protection anyway) !

I think the hardware is capable of doing it (thats the impression i got off them anyway) but i cant find the software that can read that disk file format. I got it cos my amiga is broken an i wanted to find all the old animations i did as a kid in deluxe paints III by the way :)
