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!

'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.
