I guess I'll jump in here. CROSSMAC, like CROSSDOS, is made by Consultron. at 8959 Ridge Rd Plymouth, MA 48170-3213. It's a utility to let the AMIGA read and write to MAC formatted disks. It's available through retailers approx. $103. Tom Hunt

Are you sure about that price? Sounds a bit expensive for just a little piece of utility. I am very interested in getting a solution like that because I am using a Mac Powerbook while I am away from home. I only got this machine because there was no portable AMIGA available and my MessyDos laptop drove me crazy. It's a good little machine although nothing like the AMIGA operating system. Before I had one myself I always thought the Macintosh operating system was a little bit superior to workbench but too expensive for me, now that I own one I know AMIGA OS has never been reached by any other platform.

Michael: That price was from the Jan '95 Amiga World. Safe Harbor carries it for "$99". It looks like a high price for now. There's always the Emplant board but that's "$339.95" just about everywhere and then you need MAC ROMs as well. Good Luck! Tom Hunt
