Dave,
  1)  Yes, a HardCard type drive may be used in the Sidecar, and may be parti-
tioned between AmigaDOS and PC-DOS in any way (I think).  I don't know about
other HD controllers, but it seems probable that they would work.  However, do
you really want a S L O W PC drive on your Amiga?
  2)  Apparently, you cannot have anything on the bus, other than the Sidecar.
We tried putting a C Ltd. RAM expansion between the computer and Sidecar at my
last Users Group meeting, and it didn't work.  However, it may be possible to
use one of the many appearing INTERNAL RAM expansions with the Sidecar.  Unfor-
tunately, I know of none of these critters who cares to autoconfig.  I wouldn't
be surprised if C= was to do something to remedy this situation.  Stay tuned!
