  Description     : Driver and utilities for the Catweasel versatile floppy disk controller

cw is a package containing the driver and utilities for accessing floppy disks attached
to the Catweasel series of floppy disk controllers by Individual Computers. These controllers
are fully programmable and therefore allow reading and writing of a variety of floppy disk
formats. These currently include:
  .
  * Amiga 3.5" (880k, 1760k)
  * Apple Macintosh 3.5" (400k, 800k, 720k, 1440k)
  * MS-DOS 3.5" (720k, 1440k)
  * MS-DOS 5.25" (360k, 720k, 800k, 1200k)
  * ATARI ST 3.5" (360k, 720k, 800k, 1440k)
  * ATARI 800 XL 5.25" (130k, 180k)
  * Apple II 5.25" (140k)
  * Commodore 1541 5.25" (170k)
  * Commodore 1571 5.25" (170k, 341k)
  * Commodore 1581 3.5" (800k)
  * Catweasel Extra (1160k, 2380k)
  * Nintendo Backup Station 3.5" (1600k)
  .
The disks can be read and written using conventional DD/HD 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disk
drives using the cwtool disk utility provided in the cw package. The driver supports
the following Catweasel models:
  .
  * Catweasel Mk-II (IDE-type, connected to an IDE host)
  * Catweasel Mk-III Flipper (PCI)
  * Catweasel Mk-IV (PCI)
  * Catweasel Mk-IVplus (PCI)
  .
The driver supplied in the cw package supports the built-in floppy disk controller
only. Support for the on-board C64 sound chip (SID), the joystick ports and the
Amiga keyboard port, is provided by other driver packages, these include:
  .
  * catweasel: supports SID, joystick and Amiga keyboard ports - http://llg.cubic.org/cw/
  * cwfloppy: Catweasel floppy disk controller block device driver - http://www.soundtracker.org/raw/cwfloppy/
  * hardsid: supports HardSID cards and the SID chips on the Mk-III and IV Catweasels - http://hardsid.sourceforge.net/
  * hardsid-catweasel: reworked hardsid driver which supports the Catweasel Mk-IV only - https://bel.fi/alankila/hardsid-catweasel/
  * cw2dmk: utility to use the Catweasel floppy disk controller without a kernel driver - http://www.tim-mann.org/catweasel.html
  * hardsec_cw: fork of cw2dmk with additional supprt for hard-sectored disks - http://webpages.charter.net/thecomputercollection/hardsec_cw.tar.gz
  .
More information can be found in the README included in the tarball of the cw package.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging cw-driver. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of cw-driver back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 15 months.

If you are still interested in packaging cw-driver, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <704997@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Sincerely yours,
Ross Cochran,
UPS Office Agent.

As I didn't found any source for the supported floppy drive controllers, I
wonder whether this software is still needed in Debian.
So I am closing this RFP. In case one disagrees, please reopen it.
