Tony,
You have MAC 512K ROMS? Hold on to those babies! IF/MAYBE/WHEN Emplant
becomes a viable product you'll be all set to use them. However, they're
not useable with AMAX. It requires the 128K MAC Plus ROMS.
Yeah, you can boot system without the MAC drive, but you have to make an
AMAX II mini-transfer disk (272K) which is much smaller in capacity than
the MAC DD 800K disk size. And all this has to be accomplished on a real
MAC. Once you have a working System disk, you will be able to use any of
the other transfer methods available. See page 47 of your AMAX II version
2.5 User's Guide. It is easier to have that external MAC drive to get
started, and better if you can come up with a hard disk formatted as
macintosh.
