This, I'm not sure about. I have one Atari ST thing -- a Happy Computers disk
interface box of some sort. I don't have an ST, but the card-edge connector on
this disk thing is narrower than the slot on the Navarone cartridge.

I checked with a friend about the cartridge slot on a TI99/4A -- it has a
40-pin connector, not a 44-pin provided by the Navarone thingy.

Hmmm...
