What is the equivalent MacIntosh model ?

>What is the equivalent MacIntosh model ? it depends on what amiga you are running it on. on a 3000 with a 68030, it will perform like a mac iici, but can reach quadra speeds on a 4000 with a 68040. you can check the current issue of amigaworld, as there is a pretty good review on the amax4. there are also people who use amax4's that post in the emulator section in this forum in case you'd like a second opinion. bob 🙂

How well would it work on a 2000 with a GVP 030 accelerator? (Just askin', I'm not in the market). SW

>How well would it work on a 2000 with a GVP 030 accelerator? it should work somewhere around the speed of a IIsi or IIci with 32-bit memory install. i'm not really sure though since i used it on a 3000/25. bob 🙂

I'd be interested, but need to know one thing : How can I read MacIntosh High Density format disks with AMAX IV ? Do I need to buy another floppy drive ? If so, internal ? external ? About how much ? Thanks

About how much ? you can read a high density mac disk under macintosh emulation, as long as you have a standard amiga high density drive. my 3000 has one internal and it works fine. if you have a high density drive in your amiga (either external or interal) you do not need to buy another drive. if you do not have an amiga high density drive, then you will have to buy one if you want to read hd mac floppies under macintosh emulation. to read mac low density disks, you will have to use a disk transfer program which runs under amigados. it reads a mac 800k floppy to a file on your hard drive and then can write that file back to a mac floppy. bob 🙂

Okay, I'll call around to see how much an external HD drive is. Thanks, and I'll get back to you.
