When I boot up AMAX II, my system fre4ezes (it just shows the question
mark and the disk, nothing blinking). I have an IDE drive, and have tried
to put the data file for it in numerous directories, but it hasn't worked
yet. Last of all, I do not have a df0:. I only have df1:.
Thanks!

Please let me know! :) Sorry to tell you this, but the A-Max won't boot up unless DF0: is present regardless of whether or not you have a bootable a-max partition on the hard drive. Try making df1: df0:. An amigaDOS assign won't help ie. assign df1: df0:, when a-max resets it forgets the amiga stuff. You'll have to play around with the hardware, select lines etc.. Pity it isn't like the amiga where the O/S has a timeout of about 10 seconds if it can't find DF0:, then looks at other devices. matt.

Oh, and my AMAX I doesn't work either (same symptoms). It must be because my df0: is missing. Is there a way to 'unmount' it? I will be able to format the IDE drive with a friends computer soon, and would also like to know how to get it to boot. -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?
