[comp.sys.amiga] info on AMAX-II needed

c150-ec@danube.Berkeley.EDU (Johnson Sieu) (09/14/90)

   Have anyone out there tried running LogicWorks 2.0(mac version) with AMAX II?

   And does AMAX II make work well with CPU like 68020/68030 to give Mac SE/30
   or Mac II's performance?

   I understand that there is a AMAX II plus designed for the amiga 2000.  If I get that, why else must I need just to get the Mac emulation set up on my amiga?

   By the way, where is the place where I can get a good deal for the AMAX II
   plus package?

   Thanks.

	A lot of folks are running AMAX II on their accelerated systems..
	I'm running it on my A3000 with performance better than a MacII.
	I have used Logic Works with AMAX, although I'm not sure if it
	was version 2.0 or not.

	You will need to purchase the 128K Mac ROMs to plug into the board.
	And it's nice to have a Mac floppy drive too, but not required.

An early rumour about AMAX II Plus said that the card should contain a
disc controller capable of reading/writing Mac 800K disks on standard
Amiga drives. Was that just a hoax, is it scrapped or is it true?

Hey has anyone had problems with this on an A3000? I tried it on a dealer 
demo unit (at my local dealer) and when I tried, BOOM a green screen. It
is a FULLY LOADED A3000 (6 megs plus 2 megs CHIP), so I am curions if any
one has had similar results..
