Can read from Floppies with the aktual Driver.
Great, thanks, I'll go ahead and try that then (when i get time ;-)).
But dont kill your orginals just read and not write.
Of course. I don't intend to write at all, I merely want to try saving as much as possible of the content of my old diskettes before they become completely unreadable.

Best regards,

On some old Disks i get still Read-errors but my A500 and A1200 read it without any Fail.
Dont know why. Maybe my older Disks are at the End of there Life.
For Read Old Disk I use my A1200 with a Network-Card sending all Data to my X1000s-USB-Stick ;)
But the orginal-Joystickports on the Catweasel are really good for E-UAE.

It could also be because the floppy drive you use with the CatWeasel is slightly differently aligned than the drives in your Classic machines.
