First of all, I've heard of some product called "Amigatosh Plus". What exactly is this and how does it compare with Amax, assuming that it's actually an emulator? I'm hoping to come by a GVP Impact hard drive and think it would be sort of neat to be able to use it on the mac side. I know that'd take a bit of screwing around, but maybe since it's a competing product they've managed something I couldn't hope to do. Second, how does one hook a Mac drive up to the Amiga? Everyone tells me it's a lot easier to run Mac software under Amax with a drive. Does Amax have an extra port for a Mac drive or something, or does it come with an adaptor or what? Finally, on an amusing note, I hear from a local BBS echo that Amax has been cracked into a purely-software version by some random pirates (ie you de-warp a couple disks and you've got a Mac). I think this is pretty funny..... what will they do next, crack the Video Toaster? I guess that validates the idea of a disk-based ST emulator, though. -- Robert Jude Kudla What noisy cats are we.
