Okay, I am about to throw in the towel and buy a (UGH) IBM system, and it makes me sick. I am running an A1000 with a Sidecar and have surmounted SO many problems, but a few remain. Most noteably, the problem I am having involves the talking between the two sides. When I am running the Amiga side all by itself I have no problem acessing the Hard Drive on the IBM side as an Amiga drive, but when I run the PC Windows program, the Amiga side LOCKS UP, and the IBM side gets wierd graphics (ANSI) characters showing up. When I reboot the IBM side I get a "E0000h Optional ROM bad Checksum = 44h" error (or some other checksum number) What gives? Are my ROMS bad? HELP before I buy an IBM!!! HELP!!!!!

[...] HELP before I buy an IBM!!! Sorry, when you reach the point of considering buying an IBM the brain is gone and you are BEYOND help (or repair :-). Windows, mostly version 3 is a bit ``agressive'' with tsrs an some other device drivers, an interrupt in the wrong moment may force a full program trip, but bug the developers of sidecar, the Amiga has no good reason to lock up (bad 'sidecar Amiga soft' design). -- Jose Pedro T.
