According to a 'review' (I call it that in the loosest possible sense)
of a TT in ST User in the UK, they mention that 1.44Mb drives would be
included as standard as soon as possible.  There is a greyed out menu
option to format 1.44Mb disks on the desktop.  But it looks as though
Atari will ship machines with old floppies for at least some time.
