now, my opinions. This thing allow you to read mac disks in amiga
drives, isn't that what AmaxII+ hardware is promising? And more, you can
access Mac disks even when you are out of AMAXII mode. That sounds pretty
useful too.
I'm very fasinated by this new product. I called them on Saturday,
they said that the technical people will be back on monday after 9:00AM.
I'll call them for more details.
Any opinions, explainations, are extremely welcome.

> This thing allow you to read mac disks in amiga drives, isn't that what > AmaxII+ hardware is promising? Yes, but do you see Amax-II+ yet? Me neither! :) The A-Max patch is still iffy, they are currently dealing with Readysoft I believe. However, whether or not it will patch into Amax, it can still read MAC disks so.. (Although I'm not sure how you could go about converting it to a format you could get into Amax without a MAC drive.) -- ........................................................................... : Bob Maple, The Brazilian : "If Milli Vanilli fall in a forrest, does //: : bmaple@nyx.cs.du.edu : someone else make a sound?" _ // : ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::........................................\\//..:
