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. -------
