Precisely.  You are free to use whatever hard disk driver software
you desire.  If you want to use the Supra software, buy a Supra drive
and use it.  If you want to use the ICD software, buy an ICD drive
or host adapter, and enjoy yourself.

Likewise, Atari should be free to choose whether or not to follow
a "standard" created by a third party.  Some such standards are hacks,
some are good ideas, some have a core of good ideas with a lot of
extra nonsense that Atari doesn't need in a standard.

The bottom line for us is that it doesn't matter what standard we
decide on, some people will be unhappy with our decisions.  That's
something we live with.  You can't please all the people all the time.
You can't please all Atari users hardly ever <grin>.
