Is it at all in any way possible...

...to have the emulator be able to use a floppy drive attached to a Catweasel Mk.IV just like a real Amiga floppy drive?

You know, stuff like autosensing disk insertion (they mention something like the possibilty for this in the driver readme I think) and reading / writing / booting direct from a real disk instead of an image?

Possibility, or complete impossibility?!

CWMK4 was promised to do it even before it was released but 2+ years and still no core with real time streaming ability..

Without streaming ability it can't be done in real time. Pause emulation, read track to CW's internal memory, transfer track to memory, continue emulation, another disk access, pause emulation and so on...

That's a shame... So near and yet so far...

What are those Catweasel guys waiting for!

Currently they seem more interested in their Clone-A and Aga version of it, then supporting the products their costumers already paid for.

I like 'em when they're «smart»
