Wow not even 24 hours and this is copied, almost word for word but translated into German.

HERE

At least some credit could be given to the original people responsible. Yeesh!! That's even my picture!

I finally got everything to work...

I had to use a variant of the above.

For one thing I need to try yet another drive (this one is a Sony.)
Strangely enough I need to mount the PC volumes during the normal
Startup-Sequence and then mount the Amiga volumes in User-Startup.  If
I mounted everything during the startup-sequence it just stopped
working.

I have no clue why, but it now works. ;)

It might be a good idea to add a few "steps" to diagnose some problems.  (Most likely to determine if your drive works with the Catweasel or not.)

IE:
If you can't get it to work after doing everything above.  Then move the Amiga mountlists out and try only the "PC" mountlists.  If that works, then try mounting the Amiga mountlists (after the bootup sequence is done) and test to see if everything works.  If it does then you know your drive works.  

In my case I had a drive that wouldn't work with any mount list (the unsupported "Mitsumi").  One that would work with only the PC mountlists (a panasonic).  And a third that worked with both.  However, the third one (a sony) did not seem to mount properly if I did everything in s:startup-sequence.  I moved the Amiga mountlists elsewhere and them mounted them in user-startup.  It seems to work reliably now.   Unfortuantly I can't rigure out how to remove the drive faceplate to use it on the molded floppy enclosure. :P

P.S.
@redrumloa: when I unzipped the Dosdrivers, everything was readonly.  I had to change the protection bits around.  :-?
