To all AMAX users, who can help ? I just got AMAX-II (V 2.53b) and have problems getting it to start. First I couldnt see anything (after clicking 'start A-Max') except a blue square with a white border around it. I figured out that the problem was the PAL mode my amiga boots in (I live in Germany). So I downloaded a tool which boots my ami in NTSC mode. OK. After I got around that problem (which isn't probably the right way to do it, but at least it worked for the beginning; any suggestions what the _real_ problem is ??) I saw the MAC smile (I was really happy), inserted the MAC boot disc, saw the "WELCOME" and… "SYSTEMERROR — ID=10" (I was _NOT_ happy) !!! I cant get any further; I tried any other RAM and video configuration, it wouldn't help. First it was ID=03 but now (after about 10 hours of trying !) I always get "SYSTEMERROR — ID=10". What does that mean ?? Soembody said it must be something with wrong memory settings ?? My settings in A-Max Startup: I have a 30MB partitition (called AMAX:) on my 105MB Quantum HD (Evolution driver), AMAX recognises it. Video: Hires Interlace 640 x 512; dispay size = visible size Memory: Use all Expansion; RAM Disk Memory is set to 0 so System Memory = Max System Memory; Chip Used = 61K; No MMU General Preferences: None selected Ports: Port A: Amiga serial; Port B: Amiga parallel; No emulation My Hardware: A german (PAL) A2000 1MB CHIP, 2MB FASTRAM, HD as mentioned above, external drive and modem which were turned off all the time. Who can HELP ?? Any suggestions are gratefully apreciated. / \ – Stefan – /WHAP\ng from Berlin
