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.
