This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.

The train of discussion was about putting a hard disk inside the Sidecar to replace the floppy. I was wondering if it were possible to use the 5 1/4 that I now have by sitting it on the Sidecar box as an external drive, somehow. It seems like it should be possible to use the floppy with its' current connection but a longer cord out the case somewhere. I haven't even opened it up yet to look. When I try a 'mount jf:' Amy goes 'device jf: not recognized.' If 'mount jf:' were to work would I be able to use a 3 1/2 amiga floppy mounted on the back of the sidecar when the pc program was not running?
