Question about Catweasel
« on: May 22, 2010, 05:47:59 PM »
Hello.

I have a Catweasel mounted for years on the clockport of my towerized A1200.
I intend to hook a Subway device instead, but i would be happy to keep the Catweasel as well.
I happen to have the so-called device Quadropport somewhere, that duplicate the clockport, but i am a bit doubtful of its reliability. I read that my Catweasel could be hooked on the IDE port of the A4000. Is it possible too to connect to the IDE port of the A1200 with no harm?

Thanks for your help.

Good idea, i'm going to check Jens.
Concerning the quadropppport, i have never believed that a piece of hardware that constantly use the clockport (i believe that the catweasel or the subway would always check if a disk or an usb thingie is connected) could share the port without something odd happening. Was it not intended to duplicate serial adapters?
I remember that i bought 3 or 4 of them at once six or seven years ago, and they were all damage, probably because of an unproper use. I made one of them repaired by Amigacenter, our local french fellow genius amiga repair man, for quite a lot of bucks, but i have finally never dared to use it...
