Karl,
Yes, it's true that even Macs sometimes have problems reading
other Mac disks, especially reading system 7 formatted disks on
system 6, but with Amax it's more a problem of the emulator trying to
fake the variable speed Mac drive. The reason I said it's not a
problem with Emplant is because Emplant has NO mechanism for reading
800K disks except if you have the Sybil hardware, so I don't have to
worry about whether Emplant will read a disk or not, which I do worry
about with Amax. If I can get the disks converted on a real Mac then
I can at least transfer the files to a HD floppy. But I recently
tried converting my FaxSTF disks to HD and when I went throught the
install it said the disk was the right name, but it wasn't the right
disk!! Guess they have some form of protection where if you copy the
disk you can't use the copies!! Truly wierd.
