4.9 Which Hard Disk Driver Should I use

Here we will only consider PPD1x, HDD9xx, ICD655, and CBHD502 drivers used with CosmosEX,

UltraSatan, and Satan devices on Atari ST.

The CBHD502 driver is very old and do not support well the new devices designed by Jookie and

therefore it should be avoided.

If you want a free solution then you have no other choice than using ICD655. This driver is not

maintained anymore but work relatively well with CosmosEx and UltraSatan disk.

If you use your system mainly for gaming with CosmosEx, UltraSatan, or Satan devices then

PPDRIVER is an excellent choice. It is cheap and it is the only one to support correctly multiple

TOS&DOS partitions on Windows.

The most powerful hard disk driver is HDDDRIVER. It supports all sorts of ACSI and SCSI devices

and has many features not found on other driver.
