I honestly question the claims it can be used on all those machines, without
some supporting data. If this is a "PC Floppy Emulator", you'll probably
need a Catweasel board to use it on an Amiga.

It's supposed to be out around the first half of this year.
It's basically a do-all cartridge for the c64. I want one, but
they're going to be pricey, I think around $150.
Here's what the site says
? VGA-output with 60 Hz refresh rate or more
? Turbo function with full 6510 processor compatibility (incl. illegal opcodes)
? Cycle-exact REU (memory expansion) with 16 MB RAM
? MMC/SD card slot with MMC64 compatibility and 1541-emulation
? Connector for PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard
? Freezer (compatible with Retro Replay / MMC Replay)
? Bright yellow case with blue buttons
? Battery-backed real time clock (battery not included)
? IR receiver for CDTV remote control
? Stereo audio out for stereo SID emulation
? USB link to a PC for debugging and data transfer
? Connector for RR-Net (10 Mbit Ethernet)
Jens Schoenfeld is a great guy. He's been making upgrades for the
amiga for a while. I've used a couple of them. His hardware has been
very high quality. My only complaint has been the software for the
catweasel. But he's not really a software guy so I guess that's no
surprise.

Don't even get me started on the subject of software support for the
Catweasel. I bought a Zorro Catweasel back around '98, and I'm
*STILL* pissed off by the false advertising! Don't tell me a product
supports formats, if the software to support them doesn't
exist!!! >:-(
I like my Retro-Replay/MMC thing, and RR-Net. Though I prefer Jim's
SD card interface that I have by far.
Basically my C-64 is the only thing I've really played with in the
classic computing world for the last few years.

And, since there's clearly no further development for the "official" CW
software, it's hightly annoying that he has not offered source code to
permit others to pick up the baton.
The technical documentation for the CW is a real mess and even after about
5 read-throughs is just short of incomprehensible. It's one of those
documents that probably works great for the CW developer when they need a
refresh on ports / bit settings, but fails to provide enough context for
someone not intimate with device already. My hat is off to any third
parties able to figure out how to write software against the API.
I'd rather put my hard-earned $$$ behind Philip Pemberton's DiscFerret.
In fact I HAVE done so. Staring at one right now. Knowning Philip's
penchant for throroughness, I have no doubt that the documentation quality
will be good and the API understandable and usable.

That's strange--I've been with the CW since the first ISA model and
found the card very easy to write for--much easier than, say,
graphics hardware. My current version is a CW3--there wasn't
anything that the CW4 would do that I can do with CW3, so I didn't
bother.
There are several examples of open-source code that demonstrate how
the CW works.
When Jens comes along with a CW with USB interface, I'll probably buy
it.
There are substantial differences between the way the various models
structure their registers, but even so, it's not hard to write "C"
code to work with either.
In fact, if anyone cares, I'll volunteer my Microsoft "C" 16-bit code
that runs under MS-DOS for basic access to anyone who'd like it.
The rest of the process is understanding the nature of magnetic
recording.
In fact, you can roll your own Catweasel. Just grab a
microcontroller with the capability of adding extra RAM (128K-512K)
and use the "capture" timer mode to sample the data stream. Control
is easy and the interface to a floppy drive is just as simple.
Phil's product is interesting because it will handle MFM hard disks.

Probably not. The state of the art has advanced to the point where a
universal floppy reader/writer is mostly a matter of software anyway,
judging from the number of Chinese-origin floppy emulators based on
ARM designs. Just a matter of some interface circuitry and a bit of
RAM mostly.

I don't exactly appreciate the idea behind this. I use CF-to-PATA
adapers on several machines (my mail server uses a Microdrive in one)
and have no problems booting or anything else--but they're running
Linux or DOS.
I assume that what Jens' little gadget does is to intercept the
result from the IDENTIFY command and clears the "removable media" bit
in the return packet (Word 0, bit 7). It might matter to Windoze
systems and perhaps to a few picky BIOSes.
But PATA's a dead duck. I'd like to see an SDHC-to-SATA adapter.

I've got a CF card inside my HP logic analyser (which is currently very

Got sick of the 540MB Quantum Fireball whining -- that thing has had

Theoretically doable -- either implement a complete SATA MAC on an FPGA
(and use an external PHY, though those are pretty rare), or implement
PATA on an FPGA (very easy) and use one of ROHM's SATA-to-PATA bridge chips.
I wanted to do an SDHC-to-PATA interface, or maybe an IDE, SDHC or
CompactFlash-to-SCSI interface. The SCSI ones are pretty appealing, I'm
currently "discussing" the purchase of a HP 16700A logic analyser (the
PA-RISC based thing that runs HP-UX and uses an external VGA display).
Those things boot off of a SCSI hard drive -- which are starting to
become hard to find... Well, at least if you want *working* SCSI drives
anyway...

You're welcome to take a look at the current version of the C API,
though I warn you: it is mostly register POKEs and PEEKs:

The whole thing uses Doxygen comments, so you can just run Doxygen over

It could be, but you'd have to resample the data. Basically, it's one
floating-point multiply operation per transition.
CatweaselValue = DiscferretValue * (CatweaselClock / DiscferretClock)
CatweaselClock -- Catweasel acquisition clock rate, in Hz
DiscferretClock -- 100e6 (for the latest firmware)
DiscferretValue -- timing value from the DiscFerret
CatweaselValue -- equivalent value from a Catweasel
You'll be throwing away a fair amount of timing resolution, and you need
to be careful about timing overflows. Use the appropriate CatweaselClock
value to get the most resolution without the value clipping to 127.
If memory serves, the Catweasel starts counting from 0, in which case
you'll need a -1 on the end of that. The DiscFerret uses a stored byte
of '0' as a special value -- "the counter overflowed, add 127 to the
next count value". It actually counts from 1, i.e. "there was a 10ns gap
between the last two transitions". Bit 7 is still used for the state of
the INDEX bit, though if the group wishes, a config bit could be added
to use the entire 8 bits for timing data...

Floating-point isn't necessary, I think. The CW's sample count is a
max of 127, which gives a quantization error of about 1%. Since ISV
and other variations are larger than that for most disk drives. A
fixed-point fractional multiply using 16 bits is more than
sufficient. In fact, CW software must leave some headroom for speed
variation, so the clock rate used is usually considerably lower than
that needed for a full-range sample. In MFM disks, counts of 30, 45
and 60 (decimal) are fairly typical for the CW.

The Catweasel never records a 00 count. It's used by some software
as an end-of-sample marker (by writing into the sample buffer) and,
in some CW boards, a value of 128 is used to halt writing.

Andrew?
No, me--but it looks to be the HxC emulator, a project that's been
going for at least 5 years. Read all about it here:

The price seems a bit high, though.

Wow! I guess it does work on the Amiga. Now that would be cool for my
Amiga 500, as I think the floppy drive is dead. :-( Still, I don't really
need it, no time to play with old computers, and the money is better spent
elsewhere... :-(
