Catweasel capabilities and usability

[spirantho]

The Catweasel is a very versatile device - it works with most disks, and most drives (but not Mitsumi ones). I can't speak for the PC software, though, as I've never used it - but under AmigaOS it reads and writes loads of different formats both as a random access device or as a disk imager.

Something to do with timing I think (if you mean floppy drives like the Mitsumi not working). If you mean floppy disks, then it's probably just that different manufacturers have different tolerances or something.

You can run a Mk2 Anniversary Edition on a PC too - but I'm not sure if the Windows/DOS software supports it. Linux works with it, though. You need to adapt the IDE cable such that two wires at swapped.

I agree about the NG bit, though
