 I suppose most of you are aware of 1.44 Meg drives out for the IBM. They
use 160 tracks instead of the 80 tracks normal drives. The question i'm
pondering is: Why has no one hooked one up to an ST? I suppose there is
either a harware or software diffuculty to overcome. Does anyone know
which, and exactly what the problem is?
