This is not a question of ´where can I find it´ because I already have it. A few months ago I bought a Catweasel MK3 (with integrated Buddha controller) with the idea in my mind of using all those C64 floppies again. Now I already had several (old) pc drives ready for this purpose only. My question is : is there something I need to know before I get started mounting two pc drives in my A4000 desktop ???

I decided not to wait and build the two pc floppies inside my A4000D ... what a bummer, the 5,25" drive doesn´t fit, it´s too long and hits the power supply :pissed:
Okay, no panic. I still have got a heavy modified pc tower to build the A4000 with kickstart 3.1 into, and then I just have to take the Catweasel MK3 out of the box and install it :-)
Just to be sure, is it as easy at it seems ??? What program to you need to read and write C64 floppies ??? Can you read and write also the bottom ???
-
All you need to do is take the drivers out of the devs dir off the install disks and put them in your amiga devs/dos drivers dir. They work well. You can also write to both sides of the disk yes. If you only have s single sided drive you will need to flip tde disk though like in the old days.

And if I use a 5,25" 1,2Gb pc drive ??? Do I still have to flip the disc like it is burned into my mind ???
