  I am having problems with my A-Max mac drive also.  Since you remedied the
last problem, I thought you might be able to remedy mine also :-)  I have a
real mac drive (not the one with the notch at the top)  I heard there might be
a problem with these that ReadySoft knows about and is fixing; heard anything?
 Well, on MY 2000 (2 megs micron, 8088 bridgecard, 2090 controller) If I put a
disk in, it locks up and nothing happens.  If I use it on a 2500 it says the
disk is unreadable and wants to format it.  On the 2500 I think it works but
the problem is the one known by ReadySoft.  On mine it doesn't even get that
far to say it want's to format it.  It might be a defective CIA chip like it
says in the readme file.  Do you know the part number of the CIA chip that
could be the problem on the disk drive port?  Any help would, well, help.
Thanks!!!
