Ok, I didn't have a chance to ship out my pak yet, so I tried this new version today.

Wow what a difference 5 days makes.

It won't launch jeweled. You can get a copy of the game from coco3.com, just register an account and then you can download.

Jeweled runs fine from the drivepak without sidekick, but also will not run if side kick has been loaded and then quit.

Later,

I'd certainly second Robert's opinion. I only have a problem with one program that I've tested. That problem may well be with this specific
CoCo3 - which I will try to test out tonight or tomorrow - everything else works great.

I haven't tried SideKick with DriveWire, nor have I tried the drive renaming feature, but, I've used it with the SuperIDE and the DrivePak and am quite happy with it.
