Greetings to all from the University of Texas. I am writing an article for the
local school-published microcomputer journal and I need to have a few questions
answered pretty quickly.
1) I need a list of programs that have been proven to work with the
AMAX Macintosh emulator.
2) I need a list of programs that have been proven to work with both
the AT- and XT- bridgeboards while allowing you to work on the Amiga
3) What is the legal explanation for why AMAX can bypass any so-called
licensing requirements with the MacOS by using its ROMs.
4) Will Commodore give an educational discount for AmigaVision and any
future software they will produce? Is the discount only for hardware?
5) Can the A1000 be setup to use AMAX or the bridgeboards effectively?
Thanks for reading and hope you can respond with lots of detail. (mail
please)

>1) I need a list of programs that have been proven to work with the > AMAX Macintosh emulator. I'll list all the software in my Mac box, all of which I have tried at one time or another (I discarded anything that didn't work): MicroSoft Word 4.0 Ready Set Go! MacWrite II CricketGraph Canvas 2.0 MacTools 6.5 and 7.2 PageMaker 2.0 Disinfectant (all versions) PageMaker 3.0 Vaccination 1.0 and 1.1 FullPaint Font/DA Mover (all versions) SuperPaint 2.0 First Aid HFS Aldus Freehand PrintShop Assorted DA's and Inits, far too many to mention. They all work. And many games such as Tetris, Strategic Conquest 2.055, Risk, Stratego, etc. etc. SimCity does not work however. >3) What is the legal explanation for why AMAX can bypass any so-called > licensing requirements with the MacOS by using its ROMs. Simple - A-Max uses the ACTUAL Macintosh ROMs, not copies. Therefore, what laws are broken? As the legal owner of the ROMs, you are entitled to use them The best Apple can try to do is limit the availability of the ROMs to A-Max users to try to discourage A-Max sales versus Mac sales. They've tried to do this, but with little success because they must do it without publicly announcing that the Amiga can do what the Mac can do, only cheaper. ;-) >Charles Callaway, >President >University Amiga Computer Society Kurt -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- || Kurt Tappe (215) 363-9485 || Amigas, Macs, IBM's, C-64's, NeXTs, || || 184 W.
