Stephen,
"…All is not heaven with the AMaxII+ card, …Also, BTW, AMaxII
displays a 2-bit screen (ie:black & white)…"
I've been using AMAX since its first release. I still have the cartridge,
don't plan on upgrading to the +card just yet. No need, plus I'm giving
EMplant a chance to appear on the market and read some reviews if it does.
As far as boot problems, the only ones have been when my old controller
whacked the installed drivers on the Syquest cartridges. I replaced it
reinstall the drivers and they're working fine now. In all, I'm using two
Syquest drives, an 80MB Seagate and a Wangtek 150MB tape drive with it. All
works fine. One of the Syquests holds an Amiga formatted cartridge used for
file transfers, I'm busily converting my 80MB of mac postscript Type 1
fonts into .PFB, .AFM and Compugraphic formats to use with ProPage &
Prodraw 3.0, Pagestream 2.2HL and Post. Both Evolution and Metamorphosis
Pro work fine with AMAX, the File Transfer II software version 2.51 works
OK, and using LHARC on the MAC to move multiple files appears to be working
fine. Nothing is heaven for anything, there will always be that little
problem or area left unattended to, just work with what's available, and
try and make the most of it.
