Is this the Tecmar T-disk? I've got a 20meg version and it
requires a sidecar for the A1000, which also provides a 1meg memory
expansion. It has it's own CPU that branches off to both the sidecar
and the disk drive and there are a number of files that have to be
added to the A1000's Workbench disk in order to access it. It won't
boot from the Tecmar.
