(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

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.

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.
