   The SatanDisk has been replaced by the UltraSatan, which is a much   
   better name :-). They are currently sold in small batches on eBay UK by   
   the seller "francisvonkesice" (who has a small problem now with PayPal   
   since he apparently reached the maximum limit for incoming payments ...   
   - read atari-forum.com for details).
