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 4 of 16 | ANN.lu |
Posted by [JC] on 12-Apr-2002 11:22 GMT | Most modern PC boards have either one ISA slot that is shared on the backplane with a PCI slot, or no PCI slots at all. The thing is, developing a PCI card as opposed to an ISA card is a whole different kettle of fish, since as they have to have some flexibility and intelligence inside them that is complex for the home constructor to achieve without having access to GAL/PAL/PEEL technology (which is very expensive)
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. |
