Just to be clear... To get full benefit the Catweasel & Kylwalda need to be
used together. If I understand correctly, the Kylwalda allows a High Density
floppy to boot as a Double Density Amiga floppy DF0:, but not with any High
Density disks, PC or Amiga. The Catweasel allows use of just about any
floppy including C64's if you have the proper drive. (Not to mention having
bootable IDE interfaces.) Together you have DD, HD, and bootability with
only one cheap PC floppy drive. I have Z2 Catweasels an A2000 & A4000T They
work great! The only time I thought I had a problem with one, Jens
Schoenfield emailed me overnight with several concrete suggestions and the
problem was gone. The next time we have some money for hardware, two
matching Kywaldas are near the top of my list. (I'd love to have an internal
CD-ROM in that A2000.)
Best,
