Uhh... no. The catweasle doesn't have an AGA chipset on it, and I seriously doubt its a good idea to connect it to two machines at once!

@Tickly
Why not ?

Just as good as running a Pentium without heatsink :madashell:

But seriously:

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

'although the original drives have rotated their disks at variable speeds.'

ah-ha! So thats where I got that Idea from!

Originally I thought that was why the PC couldn't read/write Amiga disks. Silly Me, that'll teach me not to play with Mac SE30s in my youth.
