I have an Atari STe which I did a bit of upgrading to probably around twenty-some years ago. I upgraded the memory, added an external hard-disk drive and fitted a 1.44 MB floppy drive as well. Fitting the floppy, as I recall, required some modification of the plastic case to accommodate the slightly different front of the 1.44 MB drive and some other messing about with the bus connector (which I can't recall the details of). If I can find the details of this (I rarely throw anything away), I will let you know.

I originally bought it for its MIDI ports and the fact that Cubase was an excellent bit of sequencer software that ran on the Atari.

Colin.
