    Hi,
    I have a MK3 around here and although it fits well into my
    PEG, it doesn't work in MorphOS.
    I'd like to get floppy-support and a SID-player which uses the
    catweasel ..
    Is there any hope to get this in the near future ?
    bye

    nope unless you do it yourself.
    I have a MK4 here and as i don't have a PC anymore i put it into my AmigaOne. There will be some drivers for OS4 one day, but not for MorphOS. @Individual Computers they are not interested in MOS anymore and don't want to hear about it. Shame.

    Hi,

    ->"@Individual Computers they are not interested in MOS
    anymore...

    I have a MK1V. I have the impression that PCs only count.

    Hi,
    what about the mountlist for multidisk.device you can download from MorphZone ?
    Does this work for anyone ?
    (I get some locking of my PEG but no drive I can use ..)

    Well
    I had an MKIII installed in my Peg1 and had full access to floppies. I had to manually mount the drive through shell though....

    The linux drivers a free and open from what I can see. Why cany anyone just go look at those and do a port? I would love to have it working simply to just use my A3000 keyboard on the Pegasos. As of now I have an older IBM keyboard that feels just like an Amiga one, but its not the same. I was smart enough to make all my Amiga disks into ADF files before I got rid of my last working Amiga and burn them all to CD.

    Catweasel Mk.3 works on MorphOS here. (But then, I have a Pegasos-1.)

    Hmmm.. iirc somebody had that device working with floppies..

    As far as Catweasel dont even bother to email Jens about drivers as he has some bbrv fetish and wont release/work on mos drivers.. :-x

    The problem with Jens isn't his spat with bbrv but the fact he doesn't seem to pay anyone to do drivers for his hardware. One driver - OpenPCI - can cover Amithlon, MorphOS and classic Amiga platforms at onceĀ (and OS4 too, with a wrapper of some kind). However that driver is old and buggy in CW3 and completely missing on CW4 - and its not the only platform missing support. He seems to hope that someone will do his drivers for free - but actually what happens is that just nobody buys his hardware.

    Nice to hear,that it worked for some if you.
    I also still have a Peg1 around ,if that's necessary.

    What multidisk.device did you use?

    I tied the latest from Jen's website ..

    I used the multidisk.device that came on the driver CD. I think it's the same as on Jen's site anyway. It's:

    multidisk.device 3.63 (11/04/2003)

    CW3 worked straight off but for stability I did three things:

    * Copied an old (v42) FastFileSystem to L:

    * Edited the mountlist of the floppy driver and added "FileSystem=L:FastFileSystem" (this used the old filesystem in 1.4.1. Stopped working in 1.4.5 though.)

    * Increased the stack in the mountlist to 10000 or so.

    It still crashes sometimes when mounted so there's no point in putting it in DEVS:DOSDrivers, but with the modifications I made to the mountlist it crashes less often. And without changing the filesystem you can't format a disk. Seems FFS2 was only ever intended for hard drive partition use.
