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 9 of 16 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 12-Apr-2002 17:02 GMT | My EPoX 8KTA3 has a legacy ISA slot just in case you have some crazy hardware like this. ;) (I haven't noticed if their new KT333-based board still includes one.)
Also, I could be entirely wrong, as my Windows box is still running '98, but doesn't Win2K still include a copy of COMMAND.COM somewhere on the system? I know they've been playing tricks in XP, but the complaints I've heard have been over game compatibility, which is another different kettle of fish; I'd think an unusual floppy controller would still be accessible through the BIOS, and if NT's DOS box is anything like the OS/2 one it derived from, it should be able to make those accesses with no trouble, albeit with no timing guarantees.
Not trying to troll here, just urging someone to take a second look at where the compatibility issues really lie. |
