Tony, You need the 128k Mac ROMs which are found in the Mac Plus and Mac 512. There are two ROMs. I think you should be able to use the ones you say you have. Amax can be used without an external Mac drive, but the one you are getting will not be able to read a Mac disk unless you have a Mac drive. It will, however, be able to create Amax compatible disks on the Mac side, but these disks are in AMax format and cannot be read on a Mac. Sorry, but you will need to invest in a Mac drive if you use the Amax cartridge. Amax will not be able to boot from the Amiga drives. When you get the Amax you will find instructions on how to create a special disk that can be used to get things started, but your life will be made simpler with a Mac drive. Ideally, you need the Mac drive and a hard drive large enough to create an AMax partition on it.
