Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Catweasel
controller?  I am in the process of converting all my 5.25" disks to
adf's, but its a slow process using a borrowed amiga 1200 linked via a
serial cable to the PC.

I have also found I am getting bad disks under WinUAE, even though
when checked with Quarterbacktools on the 1200 they are aok, and the
dms files check aok.. Ive found lowering the baud rate fixs things a
bit, but not 100%.. I am using the BaudBandit.device and have tried
using Ncomm (straight Zmodem xfer) and Adfsender/transwarp but still
its dissapointing.  I could understand if the disks were corrupted in
the 1st place but they arent.

Ive also checked for virus's such as lamer, saddam etc, but nothing is
coming up either on the A1200 or in WinUAE with VirusZ (whats the
latest and best virus app to use, Ive been out of the Ami for so long
I forget!:)..

Anyway, back to the topic.  If anyone has a Catweasel and is using it
on their PC I would love to hear from you before I lash out and
purchase one. Please Email me.

Regards,

Woody (aka Tal/Majic 12 from the Ami scene days! :)..
