Amiga Sidecar with XT-IDE?

Hi.

Has anyone managed to get an XT-IDE adapter working in an Amiga Sidecar A1060? I have a Rev.3 board with an XT ROM but it doesn't work in Sidecar: it does not show up in boot. The same BIN file works in WinUAE (the boot-up copyright banner shows) when I set it to boot ROM address EC000h, but my physical board only has jumpers for C800h or D800h. As far as understand this ”conflict” has to do with the custom memory mappings that the Janus bridge software uses to communicate between the PC and the Amiga. Would it be possible to modify the addressing scheme in hardware to set it to another location (ie. at EC000h as that appears to work in emulation)?

If it doesn’t work; has anyone tried it with an A2386SX bridgeboard? I have one in my A3000T and while it already works (using a hard-image to boot from, and the possibillity to AREAD and AWRITE files from/to the Amiga) a separate IDE->CompactFlash with externally accessible slot would ease transfering files. A hard disk would be much more needed upgrade to the Sidecar (especially as the manual describes that it could be used with the ADISK utility to create an Amiga partition on the same disk) though.

I have heard from two people that a Seagate ST02 SCSI Controller is known to work in a Sidecar, but I haven’t been able to find one yet. I am open to offers if somebody here has one for sale :) One of those and a SCSI2SD might be a way to go.
