Catweasel device driver for AROS
================================

Ported and modified by Ian Gledhill (ian.gledhill()btinternet.com) from Linux 
and AmigaOS 4 sources. The original Linux source was under the GPL, so I guess
that makes all of it under GPL!

This is version 1.2 - previous versions were on AmigaOS4. Source is included.

Supports:
Amiga DD (Read/Write/Format)	TD0:
Amiga HD (Read/Write/Format)	TH0:
MS-DOS DD (Read/Write)		PD0:
MS-DOS HD (Read/Write)		PH0:

Installation:

Copy Storage directory contents to SYS:Storage/
Copy Devs/catweasel.device DEVS:

When you want to access the disk, mount the device you need (i.e. for an 
AmigaDD disk, mount TD0:)
You can also copy the mountlist into devs:dosdrivers as long as you don't
mind the gronking! Be sure you don't have a disk in when you boot up until
they've fixed the Hang-in-Mount-Command bug though!

I've tried to keep compatibility with the original multidisk.device so the 
format is taken from the flags field (0=AmigaDD, 3=DOS HD).
I've also included a very simple diskimage ripping program (cwdiskimage) 
which is used thus:
CWDiskImage <filename>
Type it with no parameter if you want the command line options. It creates
ADF files (i.e. raw data dumps) which can be used in UAE - you can then
use the image with WHDLoad to install Amiga games!

Please email with reports on how the driver is working for you! I've not
been able to test (yet) various things like more than one disk drive, but
it's on the list (and I think should work already anyway :) )

NB: On the current build of AROS, there's a bug in the AFS handler that
means that Mounting the AFS device with a disk in probably hang the Mount
command.
Also, Wanderer does not notice the disk change, you'll need to manually
Update from the menu.

Have fun!
