Can you have a catalog and a cart on the same site?

I'm not sure if this is possible but I'd like to set up a store that has a catalog section (no add to cart button) and a normal shopping cart. I want to divide this functionality by catagory, ie all products in category A have no add to cart button and all products in category B do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

very simple to achieve - just create a new product type (clone the standard type) and set it so that product type can't be added to the cart.

An assumption is what you arrive at when you get tired of thinking...
