I've got a MkIII in my Pegasos.  I use it mainly to read Amiga disks, and sometimes PC disks.  

I wouldn't mind it being more Pegasos friendly (native ppc binaries, more testing and tweaking so that mounting on startup always works, fully working installation.)

On top of that, I wouldn't mind getting a lowlevel.library that would allow me to use all of the buttons of a CD32 pad connected to the ports on the back of the card. ;)


I agree. I have a MkIII Flipper that I will use in my Pegasos. Unfortunately, I have not got it to work yet because of incompatible floppy drives. Teac drives are recommended, and I will get one from GGS Data soon.

From what I hear, the software support is the *major* downside of the Catweasel MkIII. That, and the somewhat lacking Pegasos/MorphOS friendliness that I have heard of ...
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

More support for different formats. Especially the Amigas own strange ones (the ones that register as NDOS).

I would like support for 3" drives (+adapter) and the filesystem the CPC uses, so I can create diskimages from my old CPC464 disk to use in an emulator
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

I have a MKIII waiting for my AmigaONE AND AOS4 ;-)

BTW, I don't remember if it have an Amiga Keyboard driver?
If no, it will be very cool to use that minidin keyboard connector on it to hook a REAL A4000 keyboard! I hate PC keyboards!

Needs versions for Amiga classic, AmigaONE and all others :-)

Hey red... I have yet to actually use a CW, but I've kept my eye on it for quite some time. Everyone I've known with one has been happy with it... IMHO Jens is a genius!

I DO have the Lyra keyboard adapter, and it's a quality product... Dunno where I'd be without it :-D

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Hey Red, I have a ZII catweasel s-class version. I love it. I use it along with a Keywalda as my main way of using floppy drives on my A3000. I also use the built in Buddah to access a 60GB hard drive and a cd-rw drive. Its a great card. The one thing I would like to see return is another IDE controller on the new MK III version. I'd also like to see some RAM slots on it so I can add another 128mb or even more RAM to my A3000.
