If you just plug a hd-floppy drive to your st, it will work, but only
in dd-mode. To get it work in hd-mode, you'll have to get a hd-adapter.
These adapters are available at least from Hard & Soft A.Herberg, which
is in Castrop-Rauxel, a place near Dusseldorf in Germany. To work correctly
this adapter needs the WD 1772 floppy-controller chip, check if your ST
has this one. (some won't) 
To connect this firm, get a magazine (german) called 68000er STmagazin,
or send me email to get the address, part-nr and price.
I am not connected to this firm any way besides being a customer!

That magazine is really worth getting, because it helps you to contact
to the makers and shops of the most exotic hardware that is available to
the ST/Mega-serie.
Not connected with STmagazin either!
