Description: You have a choice of a Bob Woolley or HyperXF ROM chip for your XF551 disk drive. These ROMs will upgrade your drive to the latest ROM available which fixes a lot of problems and makes the drive more stable. You can now also use a PC 3.5" 720K drive mech with your Atari for 2880 blocks of data on a DSDD diskette! Your choice on which ROM for the drive: -Bob Woolley ROM is just a patched ROM for use of a 3.5" 80 track drive. (The Original way it was done, leaves the drive stock) -HyperXF is a extensive upgrade with lots of features like sector skewing for faster read/write and partitioning. You have a choice for the 3.5" or 5.25" version (if you just want to upgrade and keep the 5.25" drive mech) (NOTE: Skills for removal of old drive ROM chip and light soldering might be required. Chip is almost always in a socket already but if not then you will have to remove the old OS chip and install a socket for the new chip. Installation instructions included.) Go here for installation manual for 3.5" modification. drive.google.com/file/d/0B7O4-CPp2pULVFB1Y3ZEbDBsQW8/view Shipping/Handling for US is $7.00, and $21 for Worldwide.
