Depends what one you are looking at. I presume the Mk2 or 3 ones. As far as i'm aware it reads and writes 1.44mb floppys and can use PC drives but I don't think it will read C64/128 ones.
No If he has an appropriate 5 1/4 floppy drive to connect to it and he should be able to read C64 disks as well. At lest I know you can with a mk3 under linux on an x86 box and I believe you can with a mk2 or mk3 under Amiga OS as well.
I have a Catweasel mk4 my self which I use under both Windows XP Pro and linux and am very happy with. As I used it to create hundreds on disk images with to backup my ageing collection of amiga disks and I then write them back to new disks as required to use with my real amiga's. I also use it to connect Amiga joysticks to My PC for use with WinUAE as well frodo (C64 emulator).
