Has anyone tried upgrading one of those old cruddy single-sided Atari
external drives to a double-sided drive by just pulling out the old
drive and inserting a 720K TEAC or whatever? Does it work with no
hitches? How about a 1.2 Meg drive - anyone tried that?

By the way, I can't get through to Atari to see if they have some kind
of upgrade policy on drives - I heard they did, but haven't been able
to comfirm.
