@X-ray

No, you cannot boot from it, you need an additional Kylwalda bootadapter for that.

@Redrumloa

Bundled with the drivers to the Catweasel there are some highly experimental ( at least I call them this ) drivers which would allow the Catweasel to boot from drives connected to it, but in the manual Jens has written ( roughly ) that they are unstable at best, and if you really want to be able to boot from the PC HD floppy in your Amiga he highly recommends the Kylwalda.

Perhaps the Kickflash allows for some new drivers to be written, but with what exists today, I wouldn´t take my chances... :)

Quote from manual regarding the different files on the driver disk:

"Beta/BootCat

Please don't use - if you want to boot, consider buying the Kylwalda bootadapter! A program to make Catweasel unit 0 bootable. It will set itself reset-proof and patch a few system routines to accomplish this. If you have more than 2 floppies connected to the standard floppy connections, df2 and df3 will disappear after reset. It will mount TD0: and TH0: This program can only be run from a Shell."

Keywords being: "Please don´t use"... :)

@Red

Unknown... Sure, Kickflash can mount the drives for ya, but the drive(s) wont be called "DF0:", it will be called either "TD0:", "TH0:", "PD0:" or "PH0:" depending on which disk is inserted...

And besides... Most "NDOS" games hits the hardware without going by MFM.DEVICE ( MULTIDISK.DEVICE in the case of the Catweasel ) So I don´t know if this would work...

@X-ray

If you by "real deal" mean "works flawlessly" then yes. I have one, and it works like a charm... It´s just like having an original Amiga drive in there... Note: If you want to boot from a PC HD floopy drive AND use high-density disks in your Amiga, you will need BOTH a Catweasel and a Kylwalda.

You don´t have to plug it to a monitor... You can plug it to a tv aswell... :)
