Catweasel (MK1, MK3, MK4, MK4+)
(Windows Drivers, development Snapshots)
32bit Drivers (16/11/2009)
- BUGFIX: Mouse driver goes idle after a while so it does no more block the power manager. This
fixes the last known power manager related bug and should make screensavers and sleepmode work
for everyone again.
- NEW: ioctl to write raw track index to index

Catweasel (MK1, MK3, MK4, MK4+)
(Windows Tools, development Snapshots)
WARNING: Since the codec is currently undergoing heavy changes, many formats will currently
not write correctly. We are working on it :) However, since this is a tedious process which takes
a lot of time, please report if a certain format that you want to use is broken, so we can fix the
most used formats first.
Tools (16/11/2009)
codec:
- NEW: added capability to load user defined formats (WARNING: this is incomplete!)
The following formats are supported:
- libdskrc - the config file for libdsk (
here
is the file i use for testing)
- fdprm - the config file for the linux fdutils package (
here
is the file i use for testing)
- NEW: added write capability to Apple-2e format
- NEW: added write capability to Apple-Mac 800k and 400k formats
- NEW: added seperate format for Amiga Disks with NTSC timing
- NEW: MSDOS 1680k
- NEW: Robotron/KC85 UDOS 170k
- NEW: Panasonic/W3010 720k

cw_config:
- NEW: added various hardware tests
cw_img:
- NEW: this is merely a bunch of my test code bundled to look like some sort
of commandline imagetool :) it might be useable for some, but don't expect
it to work correctly under all conditions.
cw_raw:
- NEW: the remaining rest of my test code :) at some point this is going to be
the tool you can use to create raw images of your disks so you can send them
over for us to analyze and add (or fix) a certain format.

Catweasel (Mk1, MK3, MK4, MK4+)
(unsupported Software, Ports of 3rd Party Software)
The following Programs are Ports of Software which was either not written and/or is not supported by
us. Nevertheless, all of them come with Sourcecode and patches are ofcourse accepted and more than
welcomed.
cw2dmk (16/11/2009)
- NEW: This is the initial port of Tim Mann's excellent FM/MFM/M2M Image reader/writer.
- NEW: reading images appearently works properly. feedback needed :)
hardsid-dll (16/11/2009)
- NEW: This is a simple dll which wraps the legacy hardsid.dll API to equivalent catweasel driver calls,
so old applications which use hardsid.dll can be used with the catweasel. I knocked it up because
someone wanted to use sidplay2w, which doesnt have direct support for the catweasel.
- NEW: first little prototype supporting the minimum features. seems to work with sidplay2w and
goattracker.
