Common Issues and Resolutions

I can’t see the cartridge drive in Configurator mode

The cartridge drive uses the letter c in lowercase. If you can’t see the Drive c: unit, please be sure you are in Configurator mode:

1. Press the SELECT button to enter the Configurator mode for more than 1 second.
2. Power cycle your computer.
3. After boot, you should see the Drive c: unit. If you don’t see it, do as follows:
   • Click on any other unit (e.g. FLOPPY DISK or HARD DISK).
   • Open the Options menu at the top of the screen.
   • Click on Install Disk Drive....
   • Change Drive identifier to c in lower casee.
   • You should also rename Icon label to Cartridge or Cartridge Drive to make it easier to identify.
   • Finally, click on Install. The Drive c: unit should now be visible. Open it and click twice on the application SIDECART.TOS to run it.

I get an error message connecting to the WiFi network

This is a known and random issue with the WiFi module. After version v0.0.10 of the firmware, the SidecarT will try to connect to the WiFi network until it succeeds. If you get an error message, please try again. If the problem persists, press the BUTTON of the SidecarT.
