Dale Luck has confirmed that Sidecar has indeed passed FCC. While anything can be considered to be a rumor until we actually have the product in our hands, this information comes from a high enough source that I would be 99% (always a bit careful) confident. Further info is that Sidecar should work with PAL and other buss-passing boxes, barring buss loading and noise problems. Since the only change to Sidecar that I can confirm is the shield design, and since the essential elements of the production line should already be in place, it seems reasonable to expect Sidecar within two months. Commodore's going to want as many of those Christmas bucks as it can get. – Jim
