Nice! My 520ST, the external floppy is aftermarket. I had one of the Atari
floppies but it was a single sided version I think. Sold it at one of the
swapmeets.
I plan to do the 4MB upgrade and internal ACSI2SD.
I have a Mega 2 and I mounted an UltraSatan inside of it since the
internal floppy doesn't work. I should mess with it more.
