Here is some more information about A-Max II:
1) Sound comes out of the left channel only. I would prefer that the
mono Mac sound be duplicated on both left and right channels.
2) Here is a list of hard disk drivers. Take the name of the driver
you are currently using, xxx.device, and replace ".device" by ".amhd"
to locate your driver in the list.
harddisk.amhd 1956 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 12:33:40
gvpscsi.amhd 1236 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 13:13:21
ivs_scsi.amhd 1736 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 12:35:31
nexus.amhd 2344 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 12:37:36
scsi.amhd 8360 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 12:34:02

DISscsi.amhd 2328 ----rwed 27-Aug-90 12:37:12

3) The price I paid was $59.95 + $5 shipping + $5.19 Ontario tax = $70.14
This is in Canadian dollars.
4) A-MaxII does not support reading Mac disks in Amiga drives.
A-MaxII PLUS, which is a hardware upgrade coming later, will allow this.

They also have some fairly good tape drive software that works well with Quarterback. :hddisk.amhd ???
