  Catweasel - Weaselwanders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Catweasel are sorting out arrangements for some recording about June, which may become another EP or might be pre-production for a full length CD depending on whether the god of twiddlyknobs smiles upon the efforts.
Catweasel have hired the Convention Centre to plan their corporate strategy…oh all right, then…the band are going down the pub … to work out what they're up to for the rest of the year.
Catweasel are at positions #1 (Michael), #3 (Catch This), #4 (Down In The Garden) and #7 (Planet) on the Ozymusic Top 10; and send big smacking wet weasel kisses to everyone who's been voting and listening.

 Vesalia Computer - Catweasel MK4 PCI
While the old Catweasel models always had their own floppy drives that were installed in addition to the existing controller and drives, the MK4 has the option of using the existing diskdrives.
On the Catweasel MK3, it was possible that noises from 3D-graphics cards or high-speed harddrives were coupled into the 12V-power supply of the SID audio part.
Since the stock of this chip is empty with the Catweasel MK3 being sold out, we have cloned it on the main logic chip of the Catweasel MK4: The exact base frequency is generated with crystals that have been made especially for us.

The main purpose of the Catweasel has always been to allow access to non-standard disks using normal PC-diskdrives, even if you usually need a completely different computer for that.
Last but not least, the Catweasel MK3 has an option to use the original soundchip of the Commodore C-64, also known as SID (Sound Interface Device).
An additional circuit that is contained on all Catweasel MK3 can output a fourth voice even out of the later versions of the SID (type 8580) that could be activated by a software trick on the old version (type 6581).

In the A4000, the Catweasel MK2 is connected to the internal IDE port.
Again, the function of the IDE port is not harmed in any way: The pass-through of the Catweasel can still be used to connect two IDE devices: One master and one slave.
The Catweasel MK2 is shipped with all the necessary cables and the software on disk, including a filesystem that lets you access C-64 disks as if they were Amiga-disks.

 Individual Computers: Catweasel Mk-III PCI/Flipper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Catweasel Mk-III is quite a unique card, but is very innovative in that it supports multiple ways to connect it to your machine.
Unlike the earlier versions of the Catweasel, this version also includes two SUB D-9 digital joystick ports, the exact same ports as used for mice and joysticks on the Amiga, Atari and countless other computers and consoles.
The Catweasel is also capable of activating the fourth voice on both the 6581 and 8580 versions of the SID chip.

 Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools
The Catweasel floppy disk controller is an add-in card for the PC or Amiga.
The Catwesel MK4 is a PCI device, the older Catweasel MK3 has two connectors and plugs into either the PCI bus of a PC or the Zorro bus of an Amiga, the MK2 plugs only into an Amiga, and the original MK1 or Catweasel ISA plugs into the ISA bus of a PC.
Note that version 4.0 was the first with Catweasel MK4 support, and cw2dmk's core was rewritten in 4.1.

 jwz - Catweasel
The thing that I think you're missing is that the Catweasel is nothing more than a highly flexible floppy disk drive controller---it has a hardware design that makes very few assumptions about the organization of flux transitions on a piece of magnetic media, nor assigns any specific definitions to sequences of those transitions.
This means that the Catweasel relies on software to do many things which are handled by hardware in a traditional floppy disk drive controller.
Earlier I made a statement that the Catweasel was incapable of handling the old 400k/800k Macintosh disks.

 Vesalia Computer - Catweasel MK2, Catweasel Z-II MK2 and Catweasel ISA
The Catweasel is able to control two disk drives which can be of different types.
Compared to a usual Amiga HD drive, the Catweasel drives are up to 2.6 times faster (this peak performance being achieved working with 1.44 MB PC disks).
There are two ways the Catweasel Mk2 can be connected: In Amiga 1200 computers, it is connected to the clock port, in Amiga 4000 computers the IDE port is being used.

Setting the base address should be done in two steps, just as the Amiga Kickstart does: The lower nibble of the 8-Bit address is written to $4a, then the whole Byte is written to $48, while it doesn't matter how often you're writing to $4a as long as $48 is not touched.
(Catweasel only!) $f81-$fbf mirror of $f80 $fc0 write-only: Writing any value to this register enables IRQs to be passed from the IDE ports to the Zorro bus.
This mechanism has been implemented to be compatible with harddisks that are either defective or have a buggy firmware and pull the IRQ line up while starting up.

 Catweasel Floppy Controllers
Catweasel is a universal floppy disk controller that uses unmodified PC diskdrives.
The Catweasel can handle nearly any disk format, you just have to find a drive for them.
This card is basically a combination of the Catweasel and the Buddha IDE controller.

 Catweasel Advanced Floppy Controller
Catweasel advanced Floppy Controller for the Amiga 1200 and 4000(similar to picture) connects to A1200 clock port or A4000 IDE port (A4000: supplies IDE-through-connector, A1200: IDE-through connector inactive).
The Catweasel software does not support Tandy disks directly, but if their physical layout is comparable to a special PC disk drive format, you'll be able to read the disk image.
The Catweasel may even read those flaky disks without any problems, because it's totally digital (no analog PLLs that may be confused by several wrong bits).

 Converting Apple II images to disk with Catweasel MKIV | Applefritter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
I'm debating whether I should get one of these catweasel cards as I could use it to convert C64, Vic-20, Amiga, Atari ST, and other system images back to real floppies, but I want to make sure that there is software that can allow me to convert the image to A2 disk.
I don't see any mention of the catweasel board and software to convert Apple II disk images with it.
I'm interested in only knowing if there is a2 image conversion software for the PC that will allow me to use the catweasel board on my PC with that software and it will allow me to convert on my PC the images to disks that will be used on my A2E.

Short: OpenPCI/Zorro Catweasel MK3 keyboard driver Uploader: hodges@in.tum.de (Chris Hodges) Author: chris@riednet.tu-darmstadt.de (Christian Hattemer) and hodges@in.tum.de (Chris Hodges) Type: hard/drivr Version: 2.1 (24-Aug-03) Requires: Catweasel MK3, recent OpenPCI library Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a simple Amiga keyboard driver for the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Zorro flipper board.
This new version also supports the Catweasel in an original Amiga Zorro slots (which makes sense, if you have an A1200T with an adapter to only connect a standard PS/2 PC keyboard, which sucks).
Either my Catweasel is broken, or something else interfers, but I tested two different keyboards and none of them worked flawelessly (random data returned occassionally).

 Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools
It uses specialized hardware, not a standard floppy disk controller chip, and it can be programmed to read and write just about any disk format.
I'm not sure if they run on Windows 98 or ME. The problem is that they need to talk directly to the hardware; they do not go through a device driver loaded into the operating system.
This program also does not require Catweasel hardware, but it is useful mainly to convert JV1 or JV3 images for subsequent writing to disk by dmk2cw.

 INDIVIDUAL COMPUTERS [ jens schoenfeld ]
During the first months of this year, we were totally surprised by the overwhelming demand for Catweasel MK3.
The most obvious change is the size of the card: With only 2.5 inch (63.5mm) height, it complies to the low-profile PCI standard that not only fits into any normal computer case, but also in flat models that are so famous among so-called "case-modders".
The Catweasel MK4 is delivered with drivers for Linux, XP/2000, Amiga OS4, and for Mac OS X at a later date.

 jwz - Catweasel
The Catweasel expects a standard PC-style floppy disk drive, which is not the same sort of beast as a standard Amiga floppy disk drive.
I thought the who point of the Catweasel was that PC floppy drives can't read Amiga floppies, so this controller is necessary to hook an Amiga drive up to a PC.
You may notice that the Catweasel is not capable of reading 400k or 800k Macintosh floppies...
