Help With Catweasel on Winuae Needed

[fishyfish]

About 4 months ago I bought myself a catweasel for my amithlon box. Upon finding out theres no joystick support on os3.x I decided using it in my aros machine might be a better idea, only to discover that AROS only has drivers for mk4 (mine's a mk3 pci/zorro flipper version).

Thus far it was a $180 door stop, so rather than it be a complete waste of money I decided to put together a winuae machine.
Unfortunately my experieces with it there are as bad as on any of the other sysems I tried. It simply refuses to do anything. From what I could find online Im led to believe joysticks should work out of the box (disk drive appears to need an amiga side driver, but Im more interested in joystick support for now).

So all this said and done, could anyone please give me the lowdown on catweasel support in winuae? How the heck do I get it working please? The info. Ive found online is an inconsistant, often contradictory mess that confuses more than it helps.

Have you actually tried the AROS drivers with your MK3 Catweasel? They are very similar, you know.

I would expect the information on Toni's WinUAE site to be the most authoritative (if not the most up to date) online:

CATWEASEL MK3 (PCI)
-------------------

Emulated:

- Zorro2 board. You can use multidisk.device to access Catweasel's floppy drive.
- Keyboard port. Keyboard is automatically detected and used.
- Joystick ports. Joystick ports are automatically used.

Yeah, I tried it on AROS, but to no avail.

Im starting to think now that Ive bought a broken card. So far all my efforts with it have been about as successful as plugging a handful of cheese slices into my computers.

Unfortunately I consider Catweasel as unsupported in WinUAE. (no 64-bit support, unstable drivers).

Direct access is probably the only method that works with MKIII (catweasel_io config entry)
