Compatibility Issues with Firmware v2
Warning to all users
SidecarTridge Multi-device has undergone extensive testing on various Atari ST, STE, MegaST, and MegaSTE computers featuring diverse TOS versions. However, it’s important to note that this version partially support Atari TT, Falcon computers, and their clones. While heavily modified and customized computers are likely compatible, it’s up to you to decide to use the Multi-device.
No Atari ST computers were harmed during the development of Multi-device. It’s a homebrew product designed for hobbyists with a keen interest in experimenting with their computers. If you seek a seamless, Apple-like experience, Multi-device may not meet your expectations.
I am more than willing to issue refunds to users who encounter compatibility issues, but I am also open to collaborating with them to resolve any problems and understand the underlying causes.
