It upgrades the ST to a realy useful tool. The mechanical design is slightly poor (it comes in a 12" long housing, cable connector on the back, but the cable to hook it to the 'keyboard' is just 10" long) Inside there is a converter from ATARI hdisk interface (sort of sasi) to a full SASI with adaptec controller and seagate 212 harddisk. They add the installable hard disk driver and on the hard disk (already formated) comes a test program which reads from a file data to be flushed on the screen (digitized from a camera in B/W) The speed is impressing ~4 pictures/second. ( the public domain ramdisk driver was even slower <3 p/s)
