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 15 of 16ANN.lu
Posted by [JC] on 12-Apr-2002 23:02 GMT
NT/2K/XP emulate DOS, they do not allow direct hardware access as 9x does, which is why most games that try to use Soundblaster hardware or VESA graphics do not work. This would also rule out any hardware access to ISA hardware.
WinME is just 9x with the DOS stuff hidden as a precursor to moving up to 2K/XP. I wouldn't touch 9x based stuff with a barge pole now 2K is out, it really is a whole new ball game on Windows, still too memory hungry but a massive improvement both stability and speed wise.
