Jens Schönfeld writes: "The following news cannot be disseminated without a sense of irony: 66 months since the initial release of the Catweasel ISA, we're publishing a free tool for writing disks with the controller. The alpha-version currently supports Amiga disks only, and it runs on DOS or in a DOS box of Win95/98. For easy porting to other operating systems, and for educational purposes, the source is included.

Catweasel ISA: Image-write utility : Comment 12 of 16ANN.lu

My bad, I'm a twit sometimes. From the Individual Computers site:
>The ISA version of the Catweasel is shipped with MS-DOS (TM) software.
>Writing to disks is only possible under Linux at the moment.
[...]
>The ISA Catweasel only needs I/O address space, it does not need any DMA
>or IRQ channel. This way, a maximum level of compatibility is given.
>Accessing the Catweasel drives with a drive letter is not possible.
Thus, it obviously can't be hit with conventional floppy controller BIOS calls (which most DOS virtual machines would provide)... I bet running the released DOS programs under a heavily loaded Win9x might not work flawlessly either, then, without some priority tweaks.
In any case, it *is* good to see information like this opened and open-sourced.
