Catweasel S-class and WHDLoad conflict.
« on: September 14, 2004, 06:23:21 PM »
After installing the Castweasel S-Class ZII (the one with Buddha controller on it, as well) and all the necessary software for it, I've noticed that all of my WHDLoad installed games refuse to work. What happens is, as soon as I start a WHDLoad game, seconds after the native screen takes over, I get a freeze. It would just sit there (black screen) unless I hit the quit key to return to OS3.9.
I know that Catweasel takes over some (or all?) floppy related system functions, and I can only assume that WHDLoad is relying on those to be normal, e.g. the same as before I've installed any Catweasel software.

What should I do to make WHDLoad work again? Any tips? Thanks.

Damn. I really like the Catweasel. I'd hate to see it go. I like WHDLoad even more, so it's a tough choice... :-(

How would I go about removing the software? I've already tried disabling everything that starts automatically that involves Catweasel or Buddha, e.g. the Floppy/CD mountlists and BuddhaSpeed removed from WBStartup.

What do I need to do to completely remove the installation? I am not sure I remember the names and location of all Catweasel/Buddha related files/libraries. An uninstallation script would be nice. :-)

Thanks for the advice Mad-Matt. I think I've tried just about any tool-type tags for WHDLoad, however I'll give it another try and see.

Hi Ed.

I've already removed all mounlists from Devs: that are related to the S-class card. It's good to know that the Buddha part of it is not the culprit. I've suspected this, originally. Thanks for the info. :-)

I'd like to see more tips before I actually remove the whole card from the system.

Catweasel goes to a zorro slot.
From the motherboard a floppy a cable goes to Kylwalda boot adapter, then this adapter chains to Catweasel. Without Kylwalda I would not have a bootable DF0:, as you cannot boot directly from a Catweasel connected floppy, at cold boot (that's why Individual Computers released this boot adapter). :-)
