Sure would be nice!  But the A-Max uses the Motorola 680X0 chip contained in
the Amiga and needs a REAL _Mac_ ROM that you must hunt down and purchase
separately.  The IIgs doesn't have the hardware to do it.  We would require
the CPU and ROMs on a card or two, taking up space most of us don't have.
