I recently purchased a IVS Trumpcard and a Segate 296N (80mg) HD and am now curious as to how I go about using the HD w/ my Mac files. I recall earlier on the net someone mentioning the use of Hard Drives w/ Amax. Could comeone tell me some further information on this subject. Also for those of you w/ Amax and an Apple (clone) drive, you can place a disk in one of the amiga drives and format it to the full 800K of a normal Mac disk. This is very handy because if you have 2 amiga drives you can use them for your system files and programs (converted from Mac) and use the apple drive as a DATA disk so that your data can be transported to a real mac for printing, etc. I would really appriciate any help on the HD situation. Thanks. Jim Martin SDL

Also for AMAx presently does not support Hard Drives, but according to the developers hard drive support WILL be included in the upgrade. There are also public domain hacks (I don't know exactly where) that will allow you to use a hard drive with the present version of AMax. >those of you w/ Amax and an Apple (clone) drive, you can place a disk in >one of the amiga drives and format it to the full 800K of a normal Mac >disk.

BTW I have no affiliation whatsoever with the company who makes AMax, I've just been someone who calls them up and asks questions.
