Does the DOS-2-DOS program require any special drives, or does it work directly with the Amiga drives? Also, are you familiar with Amax from Ready-Soft, the Mac emulator? Thanks for your reply. Chad Barry

Dos-2-dos works with the Amiga drives. No special equipment needed.

Chad: here's some info: I spoke with Readysoft the other day, and was told that the AMax II Plus will NOT allow use of the serial ports from AmigaDOS, only from Mac. They also said that if there was enough response for it, that they *might* add that capability if it was shown to them that users wanted that. When I asked how they'd find that out, they suggested that I start & pass around a petition and get signatures. I told them that I'd post a message here, and get an electronic equivelent. So, if anyones interested in being able to use the 2 apple compatible high speed serial ports from AmigaDOS PLEASE leave me Email stating this, so that I have something to send to Readysoft so that maybe they'll add that feature into it. Thanks. -Mike

Mike, You can add my name to the list wishing to access the hardware ports of the A-MAX II card from the Amiga side. I just got my software upgrade notice from ReadySoft, so I'll be sending for that tomorrow. I'll put in a note about wishing for the AMIGA side access too! Lloyd
