I borrowed a-max from a friend for use over Spring Break. The problem is, I
don't have a mac drive and he doesn't want to be without it for a week and a
half. Is there any way I can use a-max? I'm thinking of getting it because
we have a lot of mac's here at IU. It would make homework/projects a lot
easier.
Thanks in advance,
Andy Hartman

Grab hold of an inexpensive used 400K Mac drive... that should work, I'd think.

I seem to remember a discussion on the net concluding that the 400K-drives didn't work with A-Max. I also think there is a line in the manual saying so. Hopefully this might be changed in the next revision of A-Max ? ;-) The reason, that I've heard, for 400K-drives not working are that they require a sync-signal from the computer toeep the right diskspeed. This signal isn't provided on the A-Max. :-( If anyone knows of this better, PLEASE TELL ME, 'cause I sure could use that combination... Yours, Peter Nemeth PS.
