Well I need it for a Drive B as the Atari 354 drive i have is a external
drive. Single Sided.
My MegaSTE has a 1.44mb drive A inside.
If you have ever connected a second drive to a MSTE that has the internal
1.44mb Drive A
you'll understand what I'm talking about.
However I have a 1040STe, and using the 354 as a Drive B thats DSDD would be
ok.
I'm just wondering what type of Mech will work and if a 1.44 would do both
jobs if I want to
use it for either the 1040STE or MSTE as a second 1.44.
