The Atari 530ST?  Hmm... I haven't heard of that one.  I suppose that it has
around 524K of RAM, considering Atari's strange naming scheme:-)

Perhaps there are individuals that use the "notch and flip" technique with
5.25" diskettes, but most users of Atari 68000 based machines use 3.5" micro-
floppies, which are somewhat more polarized.
