Michael, No, it's not a silly question. AMax II did work at one time in this system. Then I had an old (4 years old) external harddrive that I was using (with AMax) go bad, for reasons never fully explained by the manufacturer (ADIC). The Amax II+ did work in another Amiga, flawlessly, so I thought the 2091 may have gone bad, I got another 2091 but the symptoms persisted, and AMax still wouldn't work. I sent the Amax back to ReadySoft, who found nothing wrong with the board. Since that time, I have had on order (since October), from the Grapevine group, a new rev 6.2 motherboard. That's the only thing that has remained constant. All in all, for my purposes, creating large photo-quality, multi megabyte images and outputting them with hi res Canon CLC or Iris printers at a service bureau, AMax is the most cost effective means to that end. Of course all this would be moot if Cross Dos would support Syquests. 😎 Again, all I really want to do is transfer 10-20 megabyte files to and from a service bureau, and maybe occasionally do something in PhotoShop.
