I have a 1040ST with its built-in 3.5" DSDD floppy and a home-brew/Supra 40Meg hard disk. I am thinking of adding a second floppy of the 5.25" flavor. I am *not* doing this for PC-Ditto or to access MS-DOS stuff. My "other" machine is a Stride 440 which has 96TPI floppies. I run OSK on the ST most of the time and am now in the process of porting OSK to the Stride and want to be able to format and create boot floppies for the Stride. Other than fun & games with connectors, are there other things I need to fuss with?
