As a rather pointless follow-up, so far I have only been able to read 880K Amiga floppies with CatWeasel Mk4 in Windows XP. It appears my 360K 5.25" drive is too obsolete to be supported in 2000/XP (as discussed before), and for some reason CW neither can access/read it. It works fine in MS-DOS though, so not an hardware issue. I even tried to install the custom floppy drivers supplied with OmniFlop, but they do little or no difference to XP and CW software. I don't quite have enough HDD space to install Linux, perhaps later on. For C64 matters, I already have a perfectly working XM cable, and BBC/Atari 8-bit floppies might be writable directly under OmniFlop, which would leave the CatWeasel as a 100 Euro Amiga floppy disk reader. I've read that a 5,25" HD drive would work better, but there is the issue to write DD floppies with a HD drive and what happens if another drive would try to write to it.
I suppose it is in vain to ask if anyone knows another 3rd party driver for floppies in XP, something that natively would support e.g. 5.25" 360K floppies.
