The reason that AMax doesn't work with the A3000 is simple -- the A3000 uses
some underhanded MMU code to load its ROMs.  When the ROMs actually come
out in their more natural chip form.  Amax doesn't know about this MMU code,
and gets confused.  The same problems crop up when using setCPU to load
the ROM into 32bit memory.
Wait till Sept when both the A3000 comes with real ROMs, and the new AMax
is out (cross your fingers on both accounts).

As to 100% compatibility -- of course not.  terminal programs, Appletalk, MIDI,
sound programs all don't work.  The usual DTP-type programs do-- which is the
MAC's strongpoint.
