I have the AmaxIV with the Amiga 3000 (and incidentally also the Picasso board which may or may not be involved in the answers to my questions) Before investing more money I am wondering about some things: 1) Has anyone tried SoftPC or SoftPC Professional with the Amax? I saw the demo on a regular mac and it looked really nice and ran much much faster than crosspc, but will it work with my setup? 2) If it works, can anyone tell me why I might want the Professional vs the regular softpc. Is it faster? What kinds of things might it run that the regular softpc would not? Does anyone know of examples of dos programs which do not work? 3) Now away from the softpc question. I am having problems getting sound within programs to work. Any ideas? Should it? Any way to save a volume setup? (It keeps going off to no volume when I shut down.) Any sound manager programs which work with Amax? thanks.

Barbara, I have been using SoftPC Version3.0 with Amax2.56 and it works just fine. However it's speed is only ok on a 40MHz68030 anything slower might be unbearable. Gerard -> Down Under
