I have used an AMAX for years, it works great if you can live with a B/W
display.
I have watched – with MUCH interest, the talk of the EMPLANT board.
I have ALSO heard many things said concerning the DUBIOUS quality of the
products from the makers of EMPLANT. I cannot attest to the accuracy of
these reports, but as of 2 weeks ago someone on CIS had been waiting for 4
weeks for an EMPLANT board to be shipped to him Real Soon Now. I still
haven't heard whether he got his EMPLANT (for that matter no one has said
they've actually received an EMPLANT board), and they had charged his
credit card over 6 weeks ago.
In my dealings with ReadySoft, they have been prompt, friendly, and
helpful.
Their system is rock-solid and has been around for years, EMPLANT remains
vaporware.
(Though it does sound pretty cool! – Almost TOO cool :^)
BTW, the AMAXII+ card work s fine in my A3000/Toaster system. I now have a
HD floppy drive and can read ANY format disk be it Mac, IBM, or Amiga.
Put that in your EMPLANT and smoke it!
Keep On Toastin'

P. S. ReadySoft (makers of AMAXII & AMAXII+) can be reached at:
Phone #416-731-4175.
Their product should be available at your local Amiga dealer.
I can't find their address, sorry.
