There were only two issues.

From issue three, this was supposed to be the Disk Maggie replacement, but Maggie regained momentum, so nothing further came of this.

Also the second issue of this mag is an interesting source for digging deep into roots of the UK ST scene. All kinds of familiar names (CiH, Lemmings, MUG UK, Tat and things are mentioned here or there, even the recently active Vlad!), very interesting material.

Some core features:
- comes with an interesting multipart intro
- new colorful menu (previously was GEM oriented)
- articles on the expected demise of the ST scene and the arriving Atari Falcon (including a dozent of articles containing messages from a BBS or something similar discussing the coming Falcon)
- look into the mysterious Great British International ST party 1992 (realtime article!)
- ASM and STOS tutorials
- lots of reviews
- UK humour, just like in later Maggie issues (hmmm....)
- one absolute highlight, early interview with "Runrig", which is very likely an early Mr.Pink of Resevoir Gods fame.
- hidden article for highres this time it seems (didnt check).

The diskmag obviously was a huge piece of work and is a very impressive, especially as it was seemingly coming out of no where after so many years for me.

Compatibility note: In contrary to issue #1 this one does not work on a Mega STE (but on a 1040 ST).
