I'm not sure what work users have done with the board under DOS. I know I saw
rumour of a Linux kernel driver - but for what board revision / firmware I
don't know. It's a shame these sorts of things aren't (apparently) fed back
into the main site for the board (<fx: checks> actually, the "main site"
seems
to read more like something pulled up via the Wayback machine rather than a
site for a current product!)
"The Catweasel MK4 will be available starting october 2004." <-- I assume
that
actually happened? Or did it die a death and the (no longer available,
according to the front page of the website) MK3 board is the current product?
Jim's comment about register level access is interesting - question to you
both: how well-documented is this method of controlling the board?
Main reason I haven't gotten one yet. PCI
card with winblows drivers...
Soon as you have to go into that "complexity for the sake of complexity"
environment, things go a LOT slower - and I just don't have time (or
desire) to deal with it.
PCI with the Catweasel doesn't imply Windows or any other high-level
OS. I mean, what else are you going to do with half a gig
of memory--
run Windows? ;-)
Run a thousand or so emulated Sinclair Spectrums, virtually network them
together, then take over the world? :-)
