Hi

I don't think he was on some of our ML. I only saw him in atari-forum. I 
don't remember if he specifically pointed to some bugs in Hatari, it's 
more about broad discussions about emulation that could apply to Steem 
and/ot sometimes to Hatari.

Not that I know ; this was an internal format made by steem author, 
something more evolved that basic .ST, because it could hold track, 
sector of different size and a few fdc specific format. An example of a 
demo that used it was the Union demo (which used 5 1024 bytes sectors 
and 1 512 bytes sectors). But it couldn't hold variable bit cells or 
fuzzy sectors, so many games' protection would not have worked anyway.

I think they dropped dev on STT format when STX/Pasti was released, 
because the later one superseded STT in all area. As such, I don't see 
the point of porting such format under Hatari.
