Forgive my ignorance but are these drives what I'm after to finally get some use out of the Catweasel IV sitting in my PC? Specifically to read Amiga floppies to ADF. Thanks.

@dangermouse

You can use the Catweasel in PC, AROS, AmigaOS 3.x and AmigaOS 4.x now.. personally I'd put it in the A1...?

I'm pretty sure these have solder pads, I can check when I get home.

Looks like you would have to move SMD resistors.



No idea if this could be converted, but would be interested to know if anyone has done it.

The jumpers needed for Amiga use are on the top side near the power connector.

I may be willing to send you a check for one or two of these and you can bypass Ebay. We'll just have to calculate shipping and I can wait for the check to clear as I'm not in any hurry.

What do I have to do to connect it?
