	This is a very interesting posting.

	I'm impressed that a Sidecar works at all
	with an A500.

	Inside the Sidecar is a header for a memory
	card to be plugged in (which never got produced),
	which is directly on the Amiga bus.

	The same fixes for bus noise etc. which were
	suggested for the LUCAS 68020 board installation
	in tha A1000 would probably work here. Basically
	this involves a termination network on some
	of the Amiga bus lines.

	I'm interested to hear the results, since I'm
	about to start a Sidecar hacking project to work
	with the LUCAS board, if that's possible, so I
	want to hear *any* related experiences.

Cheers,
