I would tend to think not. I tried running MacEnvy, a Mac utility that
tells you all about your "Mac" (ie. CPU, revisions, drives, etc.) and
it reported my 2000 under Amax as having an HD20, when, in reality, I
have no Mac hard drive whatsoever. I would guess this has something to do 
with the RAM disk feature of Amax, that makes it think it has the drive
all ready.
