I saw a mention of a program that allows you to use 8bit drives on your ST.
Appearantly you have to make a cable that connects the SIO port to your
parallel port.  The public domain watch I read warned that they weren't
very useful since you can't put much on them  :)
I doubt that you can read normally formatted atari 8bit disks.

I DO have 3 8bit drives around, and would like to play with that idea for
the novelty.
