This is a rare one! Discovery Cartridge by Happy Computers. Used but only barely. Call it pristine! Comes with 1 short floppy cable thats rather short (2 feet) and the original box, which has gone kinda yellow and has some stains on it. I don't have any manuals or disks-- Just the cartridge and cable, but the following link should be all you need. This page http://info-coach.fr/atari/hardware/devices/dc.php seems to be the authority on this little gadget. "The Discovery Cartridge's advantage over other disk copying or improvement software and hardware is the HART chip. HART stands for "HAPPY ATARI ROTATING THING". This custom made integrated circuit was designed by HAPPY COMPUTERS specifically to allow the full range of floppy disk reading and writing that could be needed with your Atari ST/MEGA computer. The limitations of the floppy disk controller chip built into your computer disappear. With the correct drive connected, and the proper supporting software, your computer can read and write virtually any floppy disk format. Using the standard 3.5" floppy drives for the computer, the immediate benefits are the ability to backup disks that you cannot ordinarily backup. The Discovery Cartridge also allows a variety of options that fulfils the wish list of most Atari computer users, so far as the disk system is concerned."
