The SIDECAR did fail FCC very badly, from what I have heard. Also, if you
are planning to use the sidecar for extra memory and a harddisk you will
probably be disappointed if you ever get the chance. The harddisk from
the sidecar will be mucho slower than using a DMA harddisk. For all those
harddisk heads check out the Byte by Byte booth in L.A. this weekend,
if you are close. You may be suprised at what you see. I am using a 
harddisk from them now and there is no alternative - floppies that
used to be fast (compared to the Mac world) are super-dogs. Once you
switch you will never quit... mark my works.
