I have right the same problems like Francis, but one more :

How can I access Amiga's df0: or df1: from the Sidecar ? I want to write
on the Amiga-Drives with Amiga's file system. Ok, you'll say, just use 
AWRITE and AREAD. But these progs are a bit buggy: So when I want to copy
a whole 360KB-Disk from the Sidecar to the Amiga, I have to give AWRITE the
whole path; *.* does not work. And another 'bug' is there in AWRITE: 
I can't use AWRITE DUMMY.BAT DF0:  . It will always give me an error-message.

Can anybody help me out with this ?
