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.

However, the dos box program is rather unacceptable, since as most PC users again now run Windows 2000/Windows XP/Linux which has no DOS access at all (I don't want to hear any trolls on this matter). Someone should at least be able to write a proper driver for Windows/*nix for this card.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP all have "DOS access". You can get a DOS command line by typing cmd.exe in the "Run" dailog box or by looking in Start -> Programs -> Acessories (at least in 2000.XP, I forget if the shortcut for the command prompt is in the same place in NT).
Now as to whether or not the Catweasel DOS commands will work in NT, 2000, and and XP... Well that's a different story. Since NT/2k/XP are essentially emulating DOS, there are certain restrictions. NT/2k/XP do not allow the use of real-mode drivers or allow DOS applications direct access to system hardware.
