Thanks Erik, Steve Kapplan says he has an AMAX Driver that might work with the C-Ltd. Drive (and I do mean limited :\. Ward
Steve, I'm not sure which controller you are talking about. The controller that is described in the documentation that came on the drive, the controller inside the case is an Adaptec 4000 of some sort. The drive is a Tulin ST-506. As far as what is slapped to the side…
Steven, Yes, I do mean exactly that. I had even gone so far as to track down the person that originally wrote the C-Ltd. drivers. I don't even remember his name but he seemed un-interested in writing a driver for the AMAX. It would be great to put this machine…
Erik, Thanks for the information on the Phoenix board. You didn't mention what flavor of 68xxx it uses. As for Commodore floundering around with killing north american sales, I'm not suprised to hear that. I did however have a client come into the office today and state that his daughter,…
Erik, Thanks for your comments. I've already got Macs and the much mentioned A1000. What does "Handwriting on the wall" mean to you? I'm not sure what you are trying to get across there. Knock the AMAX? Sorry you took it that way. I have been around long enough to…
David, Those suggestions were well noted and taken. The other thing I was thinking about until I can afford upgrades or a newer machine was using it as a BBS system in the background while running a display. This would make it very easy for anyone with a modem to…
Paul, OK, I'll accept it for what it is. I noticed in another thread that there resides an "old apple core" in your closet. Even you have a us for some old equipment. If I had my way about it, there would be rainbow checkmarks everywhere in my office and…
[continued] Paul, if you are willing to discuss this rationally, leave me a private message and I will give you my phone number and/or business address, if you think there is a solution to my delemma. I don't want to sell the machine, I want it to help my business…
Well Paul, I posted these messages with the hope of getting some type of help or suggestions to put the machine to use, not kill it or put people down. (BTW… I also live in the wine country!) Hmmm, Antiquated? Need? Apple II? Naw, not I. Now, if you have…
I am sorry to say that it's to late. My MAC was purchased 1.5 years ago and has brought about $45,000 through my door. I needed to make $$$, not spend more on a machine that was not and is still not considered a serious business machine (see my response…
You are right, I have not centered on the specific reason(s) why it has failed me. I felt I had to get it off of my chest, and now, out of my house. Specifically, the machine has become a non-producing asset. I needed productivity in a very short amount of…
#AMAX Amigas & Macs
Message #57292
I find it interesting and curious to find all this discussion on the AMAX product. I own an Amiga 1000 that I bought shortly after its introduction. and also purchased the AMAXII in August of '90 and good ROMs from Oregon shortly thereafter. My Intent was to use the system…
Yes I would definitely be interested. I checked the MAUG's and there were none. I have an NEC P5200 and it is supposed to be Epson LQ compatable but I think there are enough differences for my output to be garbage. With Prowrite the NLQ fonts work great and the…
Alright! now we're getting somewhere. I'm Glad that worked for you. I haven't had many problems w/AMAXII with the exception that it can't access the C-Ltd hd because of the controller. Have a good time with it. My only other problem is I need a driver for the NEC pinwriter…
Betty, thanks, I wasn't sure what was going on. I've used CIS on and off since 1982 and not surprised to see things constantly expand like the universe. Ward
DA: I'll have to consider that as an option. I am thinking of upgrading directly to an A3000 32mhz. That means I don't want to invest any more than I have to in "old Trustworthy". As for the PAL chip grounding, that should have been done about two years ago.…
Steve, I know what you mean! It seems to also dependant on which drive you satrt from. Mine seems to work fine set up as an SE. Ward

Dear Betty, I read about this neat program that was being heaviownloaded from this forum. It was an antiflicker prog. It was supposed to be in DL13 of this forum but I was denied access to that DL. Why the denial and where did this prog. go? Did it work…
Don, Did anyone get the message I left about saving Amax-II control and chooser settings? I'm not sure whether it was this forum or tech. Ward
Don, Thanks for the info. Now all I have to do is get one from a local supplier here in Nor-Cal. The last time I asked my original supplier about it he acted like he did not know what the heck I was talking about. Any Idea what the going…
Steven, Thanks, I do have (or what was) the correct number for MicroDyn. I think that I will try the other number tomorrow as my time permits. My question is this. Is the A590 the scsi controller for the 500? if so can it be flipped and used on this…
Hi Please be informed!!! ALL AMAX USERS !!! After many years experience with a variety of systems that I have worked on (Mac's being one of them), when you save the control panel settings, do the following. DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW WITH THE CLOSE GADGET!!! Exit the control panel…
Hi Yes it will run that drive with an A2090 Controller. You're lucky, I have a C-LTD drive that is not supported by the Amax Drivers. Ward
Hi I just got my AMAXII up and running (ROM chip procuement problems). I also have a C-LTD 50M drive with the ACB-4070 Scsi Contorller Card and cannot access the HD because of the cards control configuration. I have also tried contacting Micor-Dyn and the Number given to me by…

I have been coming into this forum for over a year now and I downloaded a few programs. They worked ok. Now I see most things arced and I don't have any idea of how to get an arced program "DL'd" or what the term means. It is mainly my…
