I'm having a hard time thnking of whether or not to buy that catweasel/buddha, ten to one it needs an 020 or smoething....  then again SCSI 2 sucks for cheap/common drives I got an extra IDE harddrive and CDROM dirve, and a HD floppy dirve would be nice, but does it work in Amiga land to read DOS(windows) HD floppies?

I've been thinking of bidding, but I've heard from different sources that you need to find a "compatible" 5.25" PC Floppy Drive in order to make it read C64= 1541 format (e.g. transfer of *.d64 files back to DD floppy disks). It seems that it's a trial and error issue regarding finding a compatible drive. So "any" 5.25" PC 1.2MB floppy drive is not guaranteed to work.

Red, why not bundling a working/compatible 5.25" drive with the card, too? I'd bid in a second.
