Chris, I have found my sidecar to be very useful. I run a Seagate 32 Meg RLL Hard Drive in my unit. Re-Boots are no problem. That sounds like a strange problem with the hardcard. I got the 32Meg for $350. I originally had it inside replacing the floppy, thus having a no-floppy clone. Boot-ups were a problem with that arangement as the clone would hang up by not recognizing a floppy. It would eventually work by rebooting the amiga with an Execute s/startup-sequence when the startup stopped starting up. Sounds complicated and I never understood what was happening. Now I have the floppy back inside and the HD sitting on top with longer cables. I use the SideCar mostly for a box for my HD controller but I have 6 Meg partitioned to Miz-Dos and run Reflex on it.
