How good is MAC2DOS? I have an Amiga2000 with AMAX hardware. I would like to transfer files back and forth but its really impossible to do any of this using AMAX utilities. Is it possible to have AMAX and MAC2DOS connected to the system at the same time? ******************************************************************** * "I believe in a God which doesn't need heavy financing.", Fletch * * Ramanjeet Singh Anand * * CIS: 73767,2161 VANCOUVER * * USENET: a72@mindlink.uucp BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA * ********************************************************************

MAC2DOS works just fine. I use a SystemGate M300 Mac-compatible 800K drive and have experienced no problems with file transfers. You can have both AMax and Mac2Dos connected at the same time -- sort of. You have to actually disconnect the Mac drive from the adaptor supplied with MAC2DOS and plug it into the AMax interface's Apple drive connector but you can have the Amax adaptor and the MAC2DOS adaptor on the disk drive bus at the same time. Clear as mud? ;-) The story I got from Betty Chamerblain at Central Coast Software was that they had approached Readysoft to work cooperatively so that their respective products would work together i.e. you wouldn't need to unplug the Apple drive from the Amax interface to use MAC2DOS. She said that Readysoft wasn't interested. BTW, for the curious, I resigned my post as editor of Transactor for the Amiga back in the beginning of December after many policy disagreements with the publisher. I do not know the fate of the magazine and, were it not for several thousand chagrined subscribers/readers, would find it hard to care. Please DO NOT SEND ME EMAIL OR CALL ME AT HOME with your inquiries. I cannot help you. Tim. P.S. That should be `Betty Chamberlain'. Sorry, Betty.
