   One Megabyte drives?  Everything I've read has mentioned either a
single sided 250k drive or a double sided 500k drive.  Is this some-
thing new?

I think that this is something new! I got a sheet of paper at the
Hannover Fair with the specifications of computer and floppies.
In this paper were only mentioned the 520 ST CPU and the SF 314 and
SF 354 floppies.

The SF 314 is 3.5" and 1 Mbyte,
the SF 354 is 3.5" and 0.5 Mbyte.
Both are "compatible"(?!) to the 520 ST and have a seriell ATARI-Interface.
I don't know what "compatible" means in this case. The 250 Kbyte Floppy
was neither mentioned, nor shown. SF 354 and SF 314 were both working.
