I had a lot of problems installing the system disks with AMax IV. My local dealer, Expert Services, was installing it and I was watching. We (as I recall) tried to do it via the AMax Disk Transfer utility provided with AMax IV and had problems, and then we borrowed a high density disk drive and AGAIN had problems, and then as I recall retried the first way and it worked. I do recall that it took a lot of tries. I now have a Powerbook 520 as well, which can feed into my SCSI port on the Amiga side and become a second hard disk. I suspect that if I set up the AMax to run the powerbook hard disk as the boot disk that I could fairly easily move or copy the system disk to the AMax. If you know anyone with one of these it might be worth a try. But I know that I got 7.1 working but it just took a bit of time and various tries. I have been glad that I got the HD floppy as I use it in a number of ways…works very well with both Amiga and the AMax and since I use the AMax a lot it has been well worth the money, although the Amax Disk transfer utility actually works extremely well…just takes an extra step or two.
