   AE showed up at a MCCC meeting here in Arlington and brought a drive 
with them. It seemed to work fine. One person who got a early one said he had 
trouble with a Mac drive under AMAX plugged into it. 
  
  They also said that it appeared as 2 logical devices????? to the system. They
use their own drivers as well. I vote that there is a buffer in there somewhere
because the Paula has a transfer max (could some let us know what it is) that 
is too slow for 1.44M drives.
  
  It seems CBM might be working on a 1.44M as well. SYSVR4 has something about 
using 1.44M floppies as a standard for transfering data to and fro.
