Amiga nd the CatWeasel Floppy Disk Controller

17 May 2002, 17:24

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?

by the way the controller is on pc and im trying to read amiga disk images to it - forgot to mention that

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
