#AMAXII+ is here
Well, here I am, online with AMAXII+, (internal card) via FreeTerm. The
installation of the board was no big deal. To make use of your Amiga floppy
drives as MAC drives, you have to disconnect the Amiga floppy ribbon cable
from the motherboard, plug it into the AMAX card, and then run the provided
cable from the card to the motherboard. As I said, no big deal… and it
works! My MAC dfloppy drive is no longer connected. AMAX startup is _very_
quick… and Control Panel settings are now saved!
I sy, uh, still have to go out and get System 7 disks, but everything
appears to work just fine. I idi, (opps, I don't have my backspace set up
properly) I did the installation just a minute ago, so haven't exactly put
the system through any real tests yet (except this one to see if the serial
port is working!). As I learn more, I'll post messages here.
In anycase, AMAXII+ has arrived, and it does allow you to read/write MAC
format disks in your Amiga floppy drives. It is set up to allow access to
the new AMiga HD floppy when it becomes available, and this will give us
the same capability as the MAC SuperDrive!
