For everyone who has a sidecar, please read this. It works perfectly on every program I have tried, including Turbo Pascal, and the DOS PRINT command, however you must set your programs and devices properly. Turbo Pascal must be set for color(80×25) using the TINST program that comes on the Turbo disk. In order to use the PRINT command, when you add extra memory make sure that it comes with a parallel port. Set that port as lpt2. Leave your printer connected to the amiga and use it normally as an Amiga printer or click open the lpt1: icon and use it as an MS Dos printer with perfect compatability. If you want to add a second printer you still have the second port on the memory card as lpt2:. I am extremely satisfied with Sidecar. Everything works if you read the directions and experiment, including the file transfer programs. I ALSO HAVE A 20 MG HARD DISK PARTITIONED HALF AND HALF (AMIGA/MS DOS). IT'S FAIRLY FAST. ********** FRANK **********
