Jens Schönfeld (E-Mail) Catweasel: New multidisk.device (Update)
The new multidisk.device for Amiga OS (version 2.0 and up) and MorphOS now recognizes the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper in a PCI-slot of an Amiga, Amithlon or Pegasos. With this, individual Computers is the first to deliver a working floppy-driver for the Pegasos, which brings the aspiring system one step closer to the big role model "Amiga".

Burning CDs to transfer small amounts of data is no longer necessary, now you can use floppy disks of all common disk formats like Amiga 880K, Amiga 1760K, PC720K, PC1440K and many more.

The device is a public beta version, and it uses OpenPCI to recognize and activate the board. Unfortunately, neither the authors of OpenPCI, nor we could get hold of developer information about the Mediator PCI board, so this will not be supported until further notice.

Update 12.04.2003 from Jens Schönfeld:
Our initial news item claimed that we're the first to deliver a working floppy driver for the Pegasos. There is one more solution by a third party, but that will only allow you to access 720K and 1440K disks. (nba)
