Sidecar and Print.com
1 messages in this thread
I have used it so far, to bad effect, with the turbo pascal editor toolbox
editor and the print.com command and it fails with both. With Print.com it
says file is being printed (actually it has it queued at that point). Then
when I again issue the print command (which generally shows you the files
queued for print) I get the message that there is an error in the list
device which indicates that it may be offline.
Well….my printer is online for my Amiga and online for my AT&T 6300 but
not for my SIDECAR. That's a little more baloney than I'm prepared to
swallow. As I have indicated I think the SIDECAR's compatibility is less
than complete. A friend brought over the PC version of STARGLIDER (a game)
today to see what it would look like in a window on the AMIGA. Well…it
looked like color static. When we booted it on my AT&T 6300 it ran fine.
For the amount of compatibility they have provided they shouldn't
have charged more than $350. At that price the machine is a good place to
stick a hard card, although at this point I wonder whether the hardcard
will partition properly and be useful. The one thing I like about the box
is the ability to pass files between MS-DOS and Amigados. However I could
do the same by using a null modem cable. I am definitely a dissatisfied
customer. If I could get my money back today, I'd take it and run.
