I have had no problems using A-MAX with the latest Amiga3000s. It does work with 1.3 on the A3000. I have tested it with a the dealer demo A3000 (PROBLEMS!!) and a release A3000. The release machine works fine under 1.3. I havent tested it with 2.0 As far as AMAX II, I just got an UPGRADE notice for both a software and (when available) hardware upgrade. I can get the software right away. The AMAX II SOFT supports the following: 1) A3000 and WB2.0 2) SOUND (NOT JUST THE BEEP) 3) HD support (Amiga Partitions) 4) SCSI port support (on C= and GVP HDs) 5) ECS (640x960 ECS multiscan, 640x480 NONLACE ECS multiscan) 6) MONITERM Full page display or A2024 monitor 7) Better memory management for Compatibility AMAX II Plus Hardware To be available later: 1)MIDI support, Apple Talk 2) Printer port 3) Use of Amiga drives as mac drives. I cannot post to the NET directly from my site yet, so I would appreciate if you could place a copy of this message on the net for me.. Hope this helps out. BTW the Fullpage display is a 1000x800 display with nonlace..
