There appear to be at least two programs to allow usage of the AMax-Trumpcard combination. A PD program allows the *entire* harddrive inside the Trumpcard to be used for Amax. This is great if you have a SyQuest drive or something like that, but doesn't allow an auto-booting drive on the Amiga side... (as far as I know...) Then there is the commercial package that your dealer wants to sell you [and that I wouldn't mind buying myself...] which allows you to use a single hard- drive partitioned between your Mac and Amiga sides. SO it really depends on what you want to do, or what you need [as in SyQuest drive ability, or whatever...] Hope that helps. > -Eli >Eli Charne David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu "Think you can, think you can't -- either way it's true."
