  There is a new product called PowerDrive by a Company in Utah that changes
 your floppy disk controller to a newer Western DIgital controller and allows
one to hook up 5.25 (1.2meg) and 3.5inch (1.44meg) floppies to the Atari ST.
  Just review recently in ST INFORMER magazine ... the 1.44 drives are
completely downward compatible with all software including copy protected
software ... the only thing that was not working is SPECTRE-GCR in the MAC
mode ... but Dave Small is working on that too ... so it may be only a matter
of time.
