#Amax
6 messages in this thread
Is there any trick involved in getting the old Amax working on a 2000? I
recently moved my stuff off the 3000 I had to sell, and back to the 2000.
The 2000 has a GVP 68030 with 4 megs and a couple of 16 bit RAM cards
totaling 8 mB. When I start Amax, it brings up the smiley MAC then bombs
out with a buss error.
Thanks, Jim

No reason it shouldn't work. AMAX is sensitive to damaged RAM and other
hardware problems that won't be noticed by the Amiga OS. Go into the AMAX prefs
(do you have a later version? I think 2.56 was the most recent for AMAX II) and
simplify the setup to help diagnose. e.g., turn off access to chip RAM and
periperhals, then if that works build back up slowly.
And what kind of Mac drive setup are you using?
Thanks for the advice. I got Amax running, although it still crashes on some
of the programs. So, I guess I'll have to play with it some more. It's not
so important now, since I only wanted it to run some MAC program to access
the Internet via Compuserve. When this new dial-in PPP becomes available, I'll
just use the Amiga.

You might want to try booting with the extensons turned off.. you do that by
holding the Shift key down when the system is booting.
(If I remember right you have system 7.0 on your system)
Let me know if that helps

Dave,
I tried it, but it didn't seem to help. I guess I'll fool around with it
some more. But as I said, I was only tring to get it running to fool with
CIM to get out on the Internet. When CIS get's it dial-in PPP service
going, I'll switch over to Amiga Mosaic.
(Yes, I'm using MAC system 7.0)

Hmmm You might want to reinstall the Mac system software.. or just try
running the disk repair one on your system (I think it is number 3 or
something like that…)
as for Amiga Mosaic, you really need O/S 3.1 to run it… I crashed everytime I
got a graphic at all on both my A2000 and A3000… (they are set up different
so I thought that might help)
Are you working yet?
