His [lengthy description deleted] >Larry Donahue (ldonahue@nmsu.edu) "Never said I could speel" Last night at the ATUG mtg., I saw some stuff of interest to A-MAX users. The company that sells the TRUMP card SCSI interface, (don't know the name of the company), is almost finished with a program that allows the A-MAX to be used with a hard drive. Essentially you can partition a regular Amiga HD with a Mac partition, and the system will run off that. Even nicer, you can save a ram-image of the Mac OS to hard disk, then Autoboot the A-MAX from the HD. According to the guy that wrote the patch, It will be distributed as shareware, or possibly included with the A-MAX once it's finished. Another guy at the same company has hacked together a portable A500. Actually, It's even better, since he also hacked A-MAX into the box w/ a 20M HD, and a driver for a LCD display,and 2 amiga floppies, and a mac floppie. The only existing portable Mac!! Just for fun, someone hooked it up to one of those new SONY mini-vcrs with a 3" diag. color screen, and it worked fine Inother news, I have reliable info that someone is working on a hack to put an obese agnus into a A1000. I should know more next month...
