#Dvideo bug?

never crashes"…
Speaking as somebody who owns a Mac II AND an Amiga 2500HD, lemme tell you,
the Mac crashes. Lots. (Especially with Nav 3.0.) It's a fact of life
with the Mac, and it's something you learn to live with. It's like
tap-dancing around land-mines–it can be done, but you just gots to be
careful.
Anyway, tell your Mac-friends they be nuts. –MFW
HI Marc,
I didn't know you had an Amiga as well (as a Mac). If you find Navigator
crashing on you, might I suggest Whap. I've never seen Navigator run, but
Whap meets (and in most cases exceeds) my needs as a CIS tool. Being a
sysop, you might ask one of the sysops here how it performs as a work tool
for those types of tasks. Whap is available on AmigaTech DL16.
See ya on the CEFORUM.

Allen
I'm afraid I'm using my Amiga strictly for desktop video, in another room
totally separate from my normal work area. I'm basically using the Amiga
for video, and the Mac for "everything else," telecommunications included.
Despite its instability, I really love Nav, and its occasional crashes just
make life more exciting. 🙂 –MFW
You might be interested then in the AMax II. From what they say in their
ads, it will allow hard drive (most SCSI controllers) support, read/write
Mac 3 1/2' disks from an Amiga floppy drive and 'better' (their word, not
mine) MIDI support. Sounds like the best of both worlds to me. 🙂

Allen
It is cool, AMaxx, but will not multitask, but ten again, NEITHER WILL THE
MAC!! hehe anyway……no, I do tell them that they are crazy… amiga is
only way for me!

Amax II??? Is that out yet? And do they have a tradeup from the original
Amax?

Steve,
According to their ad in the August '90 Amiga World:
"A-MAX II Plus available fall 1990. Upgrade information will be sent to
registered owners of A-Max Version I."

Steve,
The ad I saw was on page 2 or 3 of the latest issue of AmigaWorld. Not
sure about the upgrade path, but they indicate that it should be available
this fall.

Allen
