Hello
the STT format is too intermediate between .ST and pasti/ipf to solve
all the copy pretection problems.
It contains the raw + sector + id data, but not all the timings/bits
informations from pasti/ipf, so it's not sure you would always be able
to emulate the FDC's status register and pass all copy protections.
It would be easy to extract the data from the STT file to create a .ST
files, except this file would certainly not work as we can guess that if
a disk was imaged with STT format that's because it didn't work with
simpler ST format.
As IPF/Pasti are able to image disk with much more
informations/accuracy, I don't think it's useful to support STT, all
possible STT files you will find certainly exist in Pasti/IPF format.
