   I've had 3 MegaSTE's and they all behaved the same. I could format   
   1.44's with the switch off, but not from the desktop menu. The switch   
   enables a cookie for TOS. It flags the drive basically. There is an auto   
   folder cookie app that simulates the same thing for non   
   MegaSTE/TT/Falcon owners.   
      
   What version of TOS were you using? I have only really tried with 2.06.   
   I had a 2.05 Mega but upgraded it before I even used it. Also installed   
   TOS 2.06 rom's in STE's and STFM's as well as a couple of HDD upgrades.   
   Always the same. Step rate was really the only issue.
