     ICD's original reason for not releasing the SpartaDOS X cartridge
(aka SpartaDOS 3.3) was that they were waiting for Atari's 3.5" drive
to become available.  Now the 3.5" drive is a 5.25", and SpartaDOS X
is STILL not ready.  While chatting with ICD on 6/11, I was told not
to worry, "we ARE working on it."
 
     That's OK, though:  SpartaDOS 3.2 will indeed format DSDD drives, which
I can assure you are very handy to have.  I only hope Atari's new DSDD
drive is faster than my generic ones...
