Net: sun!plx!mts1!ed > What can one say? If you post a highly emotional statment, you're going to collect a lot of flames, especially if you don't have your feet firmly on the ground. Anyhow, the sidecar comes with one integral 5.25 drive. There is no physical provision for mounting a a second drive, let alone forcing you to buy two. There are three slots at 'normal' PC spacing. This would mean your would have to give up something if you tried to cram in two extra thickness Hardcards. ------ Questions directed to the Commdore and Amiga people posting to the net or posted to this newsgroup are welcome.

I thought that on the back of the sidecar shown at the COMDEX had a spot on the back to attach a second drive, especially the 5.25 drive that one buys with the Transformer. Has that been revised on the final version of the Sidecar?
