Two unrelated questions:

1.)  (For a friend)...  I know this has been hashed out already, so
just e-mail a reply.  I need the details of how to hook up a 1.44M
drive to the ST.  I remember it involved adding an extra clock line.
I also remember someone making some kind of "smart" driver to switch
between 720K and 1.44M.  Can someone help me out and mail me all the
DETAILS on this?

2.)  Is there any program that allows you to use a floppy drive as
swap space to get more memory in an ST.  I realize this would be
painfully slow, but until I can afford more mem, it would have to do.
It would be infinitely more helpful on a nig hard drive.  (Set aside
an x meg partition on the hard drive and treat it as internal memory.
Virtual mem on the ST!!!)
