Question instead sharing wisdom

[Petari]

I dealt in last days with Atariausgabe editions 1-9. They used some really not well made depacking system, to be able to put as much possible (well, with that packer, which efficiency is unknown, as packer self is pretty unknown, so relative) . What is my point here ? It is RAM requirement of games. I did examinations for parts 1-3, and some 85% of games can work with 512 KB RAM (or 1 MB RAM in case of hard disk adapt). The thing is that depacking system uses 65 KB of RAM, and that makes big part of games not working with 512 KB RAM (or 1 MB in case of hard disk adapt) . My idea is to make it usable for people with not so much RAM in their ST machines. But it needs more floppy disk space (of course, they wanted to put as much possible games on DS floppy (max capacity about 820 KB) . Without packing, those releases take space in range 1000-1400 KB. What is fine with HD DS floppies (of course, there were no HD SS floppies).
  So, my question is: do now popular HW floppy emulators like Gotek support HD floppy mode ?
Yes, I know that it needs to be supported on Atari ST side . I dealt with it back in 1990 . The thing is that DMA chip is capable for much more than HD floppy transfer speeds.
 I want to publish floppy images of this Atariausgabe editions, in unpacked form - what needs floppy capacities over 1 MB, so HD . And now lot of people using Gotek instead floppy drives.
 Other way is to use my hard disk driver Virtual Floppy feature - max capacity supported is 2 MB . Or using my iTOS releases. More details on my Site . We can be more compatible than those forcing after Atari ST era solutions. We want to run old Atari ST(E) SW with modern storage.

I personally have never used a Gotek device of any kind.

I always preferred mass storage like the Ultrasatans.

I understand though, that lots of people use the Gotek.
