This is removed in the dialog box for format, but can be turned on my flipping over one of the DIP-switches inside the computer. And if you put a HD-drive inside a TT it actually works (we have testet it). The big question is - Is it safe to use HD drive on the TT with the standard Floppy Disc Controller, AND can I use this on my MEGA STE too, or should we wait for new controllers from Atari (will they arrive soon - come on Atari - what about some info?)
