Hi There
I was wondering if the Catweasel was usable under Linux? I know floppy support has been removed from many distros but if I am happy re-compiling the mainline kernel can the Catweasel be used?
Thanks

To my knowledge, Catweasel drivers were included in the kernel some time in 1998 or 1999. This is not specifically "floppy", but it's a plain block driver, which can be combined with just about any file system that Linux supports - including FAT and Amiga OFS/FFS. See the Wiki page for the Catweasel - it contains links to Linux stuff as well.

No, there never were catweasel drivers in the mainline kernel.
There have been two different drivers (linked on the wiki) - both require a 2.6.x kernel iirc

I stand corrected - it was probably just the release of the drivers in 1998 that generated lots of sales that were really surprising to me until a customer wrote to me that he only learned about the Catweasel because he saw that Linux drivers were available.
