Has anybody ever actually SEEN and USED any software for the catweasel
that will make an Amiga disk (NOT duplicate one that is present)?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: The compati-card is merely a very versatile form of the PC
disk controller from MicroSolutions (who put out and have
discontinued Uniform). It will NOT do Amiga, Mac 400/800K, Apple ][,
Commodore 64, Hard sectored, etc.
I think that "MatchPoint" might be their board that you're thinkking of.

What software is available for Mac to do Amiga disks?
