In answer to questions: At the latest World of Commodore show the Sidecar was on display and (!!!) for sale. First messy shock: I dunno what they've been feeding you as to rumours of its price. Up here (Canada) they've been saying $800-$1000 CDN. Surprise! $1400-$1500. Best I saw was $1200 CDN for a show deal only. This may make it less likely that it will sell well. Good news, everyone was saying that yes, you can plug in a hardcard and some sort of RAM card: maybe even just a standard PC extended (or was that expanded) memory card and get it to work as Amiga RAM. Of course, nobody had TESTED these features. Also nobody had read the manuals or had one to read. But Sidecars they had: stacks of them, fresh off the plane from Germany. They weren't selling many. (Price maybe?) Also, has anyone else noticed the gate losing digests to BITNET? Rick Pim Not representing anyone at all.
