AmigaKit - Catweasel MK4

[amigadave]

I have installed my Mk IV a few days ago only to find out that the drivers are not compatible with Windows XP x64, so now it pains me greatly to have to install yet another M$ OS on this PC to get the Catweasle to work.

Let me know how yours works for you.  Are you using AmigaForever, AIAB or just WinUAE?  I am using AF2005 and like it alot.  I'll keep using my "Real Amigas" as long as they continue to boot up, but it is nice to know that when all the old hardware finally dies the Amiga experience will still be available on modern hardware.  The programmers that have worked long hard years at perfecting WinUAE have my highest regard and appreciation.

@KD7HTH,

XP Pro just arrived via UPS.  Now I have to figure out if I can install it over the x64 version, or if I need to wipe the HD clean and start from scratch.  x64 should not be for sale yet as it has so few drivers and is so limited.  Many manufacturers aren't even working on 64bit drivers to work with it and have no plans to start anytime soon, including my printer manf. and the Catweasle guys at Individual Computers.

I bought XP64 before I realized that it was not what I wanted or needed.  It burns me up to give Bill Gates money that I didn't have to, and even worse to have to give him more for the 32bit version.  But, this computer is for my son and he will need Windows for most programs he will want to use.

AF2005 is Amiga Forever 2005, which includes WinUAE 1.0 in a very nice package with an easy to use launcher and configuration front end.  Can you boot an Amiga floppy when using WinUAE from the Catweasle drive?
