I had the same problem about 2 years ago.  After talking with
CBM i found out that the sidecar isn't designed to handle being
passed through.  Supposedly, the timing involved with the sidecar
is too critical to handle anything else on the bus.  So, I spent
the money on memory and a SCSI harddrive and I only use the sidecar
when I really need it which isn't that often.
