Well, we have not heard from Jens yet, so don't rush out a buy one purely for CAPS, because it may not happen. Well, okay, you can't buy a Mk4 yet anyway... (that will be the only one supported)
When there is more news on this, we will let everyone know. |

So in theory would it be possible to dump CAPS images using something like a Catweazel - allowing people to dump a much wider range of media such as HD 3.5" and 5.25" disks? Would be cool for my C64 disks!

It's not confirmed yet about IPF images, but probably it works for .d64 images and the like.
Can't you dump originals to G64 with the XE1541 cable and a proper C64 disk drive? |

@barkingboy
If we did do it, yes a dumping mode would be in there too. For 3.5" disks this might help a bit for people without Amiga's but with undumped games (though I don't think there is likely to be very many), and I guess other types of disks too. You can dump HD 3.5" disks now btw, you just need an Amiga HD drive. |

Quick OT question:
If I had an HD Amiga floppy drive and I stick a PC disk in it, would I be able to dump an image of the PC disk? |

No that would only open up a portal to the Zod dimension.

AFAIK all Catwezel cards can handle any format including protections. I don´t think I can afford a new one. Why can´t we use the MK3 ? |

Yes, but some of the other items listed as well.

Partial track access is the only interesting thing there.Could be nice for real time applications. WINUAE perhaps? But not for us. why we should care about this? We don´t need this for re-authoring or for dumping. So I ask again. What exactly is missing in MK3 for re-authoring IPF back to disk? No bullshit answer please. |

Not sure if these are important for writing Amiga copy protections but MK4 has at least following disk controller improvements:
- partial writes, wait for index sync, wait x clock cycles until writing starts. - more exact timing, MK3 apparantly had some "random" error (length of single pulse written was not exactly the length asked but had some "random" value added) |

So I take it the MK4 could more accurately write out long track schemes without said random marker then ?!?
If so then this would be one major reason for not using a MK3 then correct ?!? |
