Raul, AMAX supports SCSI flawlessly as long as the Amiga SCSI manufacturer has provided an amax-scsi.device driver. I use gvpscsi.device with my gvp scsi card and there's no problems. The interesting provision is that before you start amax, all of the scsi devices must be mounted from the Amiga side. I have an AMAX partition on one of my hard drives (on the SCSI bus) in addition to a removable media (Ricoh) which only is recognized if i mount the Ricoh before starting AMAX. I chose not to mount it at startup since it shows up on the WB and I haven't figured out a way to hide the mounted drive from WB yet. There's been some suggestions to modify the mountlist so that the icon doesn't show, but since I don't want to accidently erase the contents of the disk by altering the RDB I haven't done that yet. Maybe when I get a good backup system for the AMAX side I'll try that option… Anyway, The SCSI bus works great from AMAX. I even have used my Toshiba drive and CDROM-FS and have been able to use mac formatted (both ISO 9660 and audio CD's) without a hitch from AMAX. Pretty fun stuff! .. Tim Trompeter…
