One thing to remember, though, is that you can't adjust the drive speed on ST drives the same way you can on 8 bit drives. (There's apparently no easily adjusted pot, the way there was on 810's). I have trouble believing that any copy protection method today relies on drive speed for it's protection to work--I think that in VIP's case they use a bad sector out on track 81 or 82, which is a definite no-no. 3.5" drives are spec'd to go to track 80, and that's it... --alex @ Atari BIX:alexl.
