It piggybacks on the ST's (sorry, no mention of the TT) disk contoller, enabling the ST to format and use any 1.44Mb drive (includes formatting software). Works with both internal and external drives. The article also lists The Atari Workshop in London as a distributor. Anyone in England able to elaborate on this?
