Well I got my 360k floppy working - sort of. The Atari reads the drive
just dandy, but it wont write worth a damn (except to the directory)

One porblem it took me a while to discover, the external drive must be
on when the ST boots so that it recognizes it.

A previous poster mentioned a program PCF554.PRG which would be
necessary to use 360k, where can I get this? I can ftp but some
us-snail method would be better (Ie if a pd sw house sells it for
$5-10 that would be best since I must call long distance to get to the
net. I would be willing to mail someone a disk w/return postage also.
