- It should not be a problem to use that disk with your Mega STE. If the Atari
- software does not find the disk, try using GE-Soft from Germany. The ICD
- will not work if you do not have the pro version.
-
- You will have the same speed as connecting it to an ext. case. The
- controller in the STE is not true SCSI, but ACSI to SCSI converter, as all
- other SCSI controllers from 3rd party. The controller actually comes from
- the Stacy. AND it is not possible to hook up 2 or more drives to the
- controller as it is possible on true SCSI or controllers from other 3rd
- party companies.
