>so this means a catweasel is no longer needed?

Disk2FDI didn't need a catweasel either: both programs (ab)use the PC's floppy controller to read Amiga disks by swapping between two drives while reading.  Disk2FDI only ever worked under DOS/Win9x however, so those with newer NT-based Windowses had to go through the annoyances of dual booting or using a startup disk.

Of course, the catweasel does lots of other things as well and probably works a bit neater (without the additional floppy drive needed).  What would be great now would be a Catweasel for USB that you could use on laptops without PCI slots or an additional floppy drive.
