Hi there.

People keep telling me strange things about the TT: They drop in 
1.44 MB drives, and ho, they are working properly without any
hardware mod whatsoever. TOS reads and writes HD disks without
a hassle; the DESKTOP formatter won't format them, but then,
there are third-party formatters that will. Can someone imagine
why they still sell the TT with those old drives? Dealers over
here tell me that it can't be a price reason for HD drives are
now as cheap as standard 720 KB drives. So: Why?
