Getting Catweasel Mk4 to work in WINUAE!!!!

[thewalrus]

Maybe I am thick but I cannot seem to access the catweasel drive after installing every thing.
I have the latest Winuae 1.4 installed running under the latest version of Amiga forever. I have ticked the catwaesel box in the Misc section within Winuae and copied mdisk365 to devs directory and dosdrivers cat1 and cat2 into the dosdrivers draw. When running the program and if I mount either dos drivers in a shell - it say's they are mounted however it I go to access the drive by for example tying cat1: or cat2: with a amiga DD disk in the drive - nothing works. Is this the way of accessing the drive or not? The floppy drive seems to work fine on boot up on the PC side and continually pulses however I notice as soon as I start Winaue the pulsing noise stops. I know it is loaded question - but am I thick by doing some simple thing wrong or not accessing the drive in the right way? Please help and put me out of my misery! Chris :crazy:

I also have a Mk4 I use with WINUAE and it works wonderfully but I did have problems knowing which dosdrivers to use on the amiga side.

First:
I remember reading somewhere, think pretty resently on amiga.org in the news section, that some of the newer 3.5 inch floppies are not dual speed and cannot access DD disk with catweasel.  It suggested using an old 3.5 floppy drive, like an older teac.  

Second:
I suggest getting mdisk362 from the individual computer site.  use a text editor and check the dosdriver files and make sure it is configured properly for amiga disks, HD and DD require different dosdrivers.  There are examples in documentation somewhere on the individual computers web site.  Make sure you know which position on the floppy cable the floppy drive resides.

Third:(using the catweasel with WINUAE)
I know that newer versions of winuae do not need MS windows drivers but will use them if present, try the ms windows drivers on individual computer site, CWMK42200.zip.  Not only may this help you on the amiga side but ver 42200 has some very cool new formats for convertion.

Many thanks for your tips. I have not loaded the window drivers. Also I have tried mulisisk 362 and I an sure dos drivers are OK and have checked the configuration. The floppy is new so I will change for another one. One question - does the catweasel mount normal amiga disks without using the mount command in a shell window?
