- connects to the 44 pin IDE header, the 44 pin IDE port is passed through
- an optional adapter board allows connecting to the clock port
- by using the IDE connection the board is not compatible with IDE splitters
- the clock port connection leaves the the A1200 IDE port free, so it's compatible with IDE splitters

Company Individual Computers, Germany | Date 1997 | Amiga A1200A4000 | - - | Interface clock portIDE header |
- floppy controller
- supports all disk formats, file systems, floppy drives and features as the Catweasel Mk1
- smaller than the original Catweasel thus fits easier inside a desktop A1200
- 26 pin local expansion slot for the optional HyperCom 3 Plus I/O module with two serial and one parallel ports
- can be connected to a 40 pin IDE header - the IDE port is passed through, but IDE splitters and the 26 pin local expansion slot are ruled out
- by connecting to a clock port, IDE splitters can be used and the local expansion port is enabled
- clock port pin 40 is marked
- a floppy style power connector is provided for powering the board when installed into an A4000
