Any chance that a version of Amax could be produced that uses the MMU in a 2620 or Lucas board to map the Mac's area somewhere else to allow AmigaDOS to continue to run? Charlie_Gibbs@mindlink.UUCP "Down with fascist computing!"

Most likely not. First of all, A-Max takes over the Amiga entirely. It can even eat up KickStart mem on a 1000 if you tell it to. But the main reason is the switching between disk drive drivers that would be involved. A-Max format is not Amiga format (each is "bad" when the other is running). That in itself would be sufficient to keep an AmigaDos/A-Max simultaneous version running, UNLESS you assigned drives specifically to each. I dunno. Call up ReadySoft and talk to Simon Douglas, the creator. Ask him. (He is the guy who answers all the A-Max tech queries - at least *I've* gotten him each time I've called (about 5 times)) -=- | Jim Gaynor..."The Vampire Lestat" UseNet: gaynor@cis.ohio-state.edu | | The Ohio State University - Instructional and Research Computer Center | >> "It is useless for sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism << >> while wolves remain of a different opinion." - William Ralph Inge <<

working on an Amiga with Amax. The kicker is that they claimed that in 2 weeks they were going to be selling the disk drive with the Amax cartrige installed internally. The price for the drive was $250, and they claimed that the price would remain the same with the internal cartrige. That will make a much cleaner system. You will still have to buy the Amax cartrige from Readysoft since you need the software from them. They claimed that so far Readysoft has been unwilling to lisence (spelling?) the software to them.
