Actually, Amax II appears to be only a software upgrade. I just received an
upgrade offer from Readysoft, and what you are refering to seems to be what
Readysoft is calling Amax II Plus. This plus version comes as a Zorro II
card, on which the 128K mac roms are place, and includes 2 Mac serial ports.
On our macs, Appletalk is connected over the Printer serial port, so this
apparently would give you appletalk access.

Alas, Amax II Plus is said to be only "under development" by ReadySoft and
a Fall 1990 delivery. (BTW it also provides the ability to R/W mac disks in
Amiga drives.)

The version 2 software supports 68020, 68030, Hard disks partitions, Mac
digitized sounds, and easier file transfers.
64K ROMS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

For the upgrade ReadySoft wants $49.95 ($59.95 CDN) +$5 S/H.
Note: this will be applied toward the upgrade to II plus once it is available.

Sounds good to me!

Dave
