Anybody heard any rumors / have any idea / have a clue at all
when we can expect to see a version of Amax that supports a 
hard drive ?  

My 2000 is gathering dust at home while I pound the keys on
the Mac II's here at school.  Not my choice - But that's life.

Without hard drive support, Amax is not much more than an 
admirable hack and a fun toy.  Most of the packages I need
to run require a hard drive  (there's just not much you
can do if the program your'e running takes 800 of an 880 k
disk :)).  WITH hard drive support, I could have my Amy and
get some work done too !!

It's gotten bad enough that unless I have hope of seeing 
a new version of Amax soon, I may have to seriousely 
consider (gasp !) dumping the Amiga and buying an overpriced
Mac-in-toy to get some work done on :(.
