I don't know if you can attach the 5.25" drive to the Sidecar in that fashion. It seems to me that there isn't a controller card in the Sidecar for a 5.25" drive. The mount command will not allow you to use the 3.5" drive attached to the Sidecar fromn the Amy. Once you attach the drive to the Sidecar, you can only use it from the Sidecar. The mount command is supposed to allow you to copy files from/to the any Sidecar drive from/to any Amy drive. Does your documentation on Sidecar say to use the mount jf: command, or is that something I told you? On mine, I am supposed to use the mount command, and it works, but I can only copy files one way (Sidecar->Amy). Maybe you need to use a different method for file copy? On the other hand, if your documentation says to use the mount command, and it doesn't work, then it looks like Commodore has once again shipped an incomplete product (way to go CBM).
