Bernard Hudson (bjh@cbnewsj.ATT.COM) was having problems running Hypercard
under A-MAX. I was having exactly the same problems, and solved them by:
1) getting the latest A-MAX software - just send them your disks and they
will send a new version.
2) allocating 1.5 megs user memory to A-MAX. I have a 3 meg Amiga 2000
so I allocate the remaining 1.5 megs to RAM disk.
3) running Hypercard under Multifinder.
These steps also seem to solve the problems I was having when formatting
disks under Multifinder.

I finally got Hypercard to run with the new A-MAX software.
1. Make sure there is enough memory. Use Finder or a small MultiFinder system.
2. The MAC System boot disk must be WRITE ENABLED (unLOCKED).
I had only run Hypercard on a real MAC from the hard drive.
The write enabled system floppy disk is strange to someone from the Amiga relm,
but is common on a MAC (e.g. Red Ryder must be run from unlocked disk).
