   The HART chip is normally associated with a HAPPY Disk Copier.   
      
   I have the Discovery Cartridge, the Large one.   
   IIRC, they also made a smaller one for the ST that also connected to the   
   cartridge port, but I didn't think it had a cable. ICBW, because I only   
   saw a pic of it. However the case was similar but different.   
      
   This Case looks exactly like a Migraph Hand Scanner cartridge interface,   
   except for the   
   cable. On the Migraph case, there is a small port where you connect the hand   
   scanner   
   cable, in about the same location where the cable on this one is.   
      
   However, I've not taken my scanner interface apart, to look inside.   
   The GoldenImage Scanner Interface is just like the MiGraph one except the   
   cover   
   goes over all the PCB, only the cart connection can be seen.   
      
   My guess is that it's a Disk Copier of some sort.   
   Or some type of Disk Drive Interface.   
   I don't know of any other ST devices that uses a ST disk drive connection.
