I think Jens was happy enough with version III of the catweasel, but
some component (I think it was the PCI interface chip) became
unavailable, and he was forced to redesign it. Since he was
redesigning, he added more features, including some that make reading
hard sectored disks easier and makes writing them possible.
I have a mark IV version, although I haven't yet tried to use it. :-(
Where did you hear that they were not being made?
I was able to purchase a
brand new one from softhut.com in January. It was shipped over in a new
batch then.
Hrm. Never saw softhut.com before. It just says "Catweasel", but
there are several different versions of the card. Which version did
they sell you? The page I was looking at is the page supposedly by
the people who actually design and manufacture the catweasel. When I
enquired in August of 2004 they were unavailable worldwide. Is
softhut offering the "new batch" that I was told would be ready in
"Spring 2005" but which never materialized at that time?
