How did you get it to work correctly?

Well... firstly I never got it running correctly... or as the manual ( piece of paper ) stated.
I could never put adf`s back to 880k disks.. until I started using the older imagetool.. and even then I was making 1 good disk out of about 6.
Whats your problem exactly??
Put the card in... install drivers... this might install a few things in device manager, and it should go.. to some extent.. are you using it for Amiga disks or summat else? because other than C64 disks.. everything else mentioned doesn`t work... yet..

I bought the Catweasel under the assumption that I could use my pc floppy drives as Amiga floppy drives in WinUAE. Like if I pop the Workbench disk in the drive, it'll read it like an Amiga normally would and boot up the os. Was I misled or can I actually do this?

Not yet. Currently only the keyboard and joystick ports are integrated into WinUAE. Floppy drive integration is still being worked on.

But you can use the CW's floppy drives inside WinUAE with this description: http://www.winuae.net/cw.html
It has the same poor reliability as Stainy mentioned above, though.
