[comp.sys.amiga.emulations] Amax Problems was

conan@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (Robert Faulkner) (01/20/91)

Help I have the Amax II package with a 20m Supra Partition set aside
for a Mac Harc Drive.  The drive is a Seagate 296n 84 megger.  I have
all this installed in an A2000 rev 4.3 with 3 megs of ram and an A2320
display enhancer.

I am expierencing problems with the Mac partition.  The partition is 
recognized by AMAX and sometimes will boot all the way.  Other times
the partition will start to boot and give random errors.  Such as:

 * Mutifinder busy or damaged!!!
 &
 * Finder busy or damaged!!!
  Sometimes it says : The Installer can repair this disk.

I have reformatted, re prepped, re-cussed at it and still no solution.  Like
I say this is a random error and I have scanned for viruses on all my disks.
I am using system 6.05 with several inits and startps.  Any suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.  Please help, I am stuck and tempted to set
this thing on fire and throw it out the window.  ;-)

Thanks

>[lower your system version to 6.0.3.  6.0.5 is the version I think
> is reserved for the laptop...]

This is not correct.  6.0.7 is the system version that is not
recommended for use on anything but the IIsi, II LC, and the classic.
I have been using system 6.0.5 / finder 6.1.5 with A-Max II for over
3 months now with NO problems whatsoever.

I did not see the original post, so could the original poster please
e-mail his problem to me?  I will be glad to offer any help I can.
I just wanted to dismiss any mis-information about system version
6.0.5 cauing problems, because it does not.  Thanks!
