All these people having AMAX II hard drive problems may find this helpful, (at least I hope so). I had no problem with my set up: A500, A501, IVS Trumpcard, IVS META4(2megs) AMAX II, AmigaDos 1.3, Mac System 6.03, st157n here is what I did: 1: backe up the harddrive 2: split one of my partitions into two. One for Amiga and one for Amax. 3: I created the Amiga partition with the hard drive utilities, but left the Amax one alone as unused disk space. 4: I reinstalled my Amiga Software from the back up 5: Copied the corresponding .amhd file to devs: (ivs_scsi.amhd) 6: I created the following mountlist entry: AMAX1: Device = IVS_SCSI.device Unit = 1 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 6 BlocksPerTrack = 26 Reserved = 2 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 480 ; HighCyl = 607 /* of 608 */ Mount = 1 Buffers = 5 # 7: I typed mount AMAX1:, and then started AMAX II. It started, but gave me a bad disk icon. I put in a boot floppy, and it booted the mac system. As soon as the system was up I got a bad disk requester asking if I wanted to format etc. I selected format. Waited . . . It formatted the AMAX partition, put up the disk icon, and that was it. I the copied the system folder to that partition, and since then I have been able to boot off the AMAX partition. I hope this helps . -Todd
