Another problem with the CatWeasel is that they are not
designed for Windows or DOS, Linux I believe is where
they are at the moment and you need to build your own
software driver AFAIK. I haven't been to the site in over
a month so I'm not sure if they have made any changes or
improvements on the PC version. Amiga is the one I think
which is complete with installable software. ;-)
