Ok, give me your propose. Since PS2 ATARI ST Adaptor which is really tricky costs 25 GBP! So wheres the comaparison in useabilty?

Do you know any other device for ATARI ST with adavanteges like Handy? Where you dont need nothing to SOLDIER!!! you dont need even open YOUR ATARI! And you have FULLY PLUG AND PLAY device. And more advantages like MOBILE, you can take it with you easily even in your pocket (i think :) and go to your friend, anywhere wher Atari ST is and you dont need to take your ST!
And if you can take your ACSI with you easily im really impressed because thers no device like this for ST, and ACSI adaptors are not produced anymore, more i saw many auctions on ebay and cost of this one is still really BIG. So, by now theres no competitors.

YEs and if you got TANK you need some BOMB to destroy it. Its like everything used with computer, try to knocks your ACSI disk.

Its simple the same speed as other best ACSI or IDE (internal!) because of ATARI ST possibility.
