I ported Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle to the Amiga from the Mac and
I found that Mac audio and Amiga audio differ slightly.  One uses unsigned
sample data and the other uses signed.  This means that in order for sounds
digitized on the Mac to sound correct on the Amiga that each byte of the
sound sample data must be exclusive or'ed with hex $80 or the sound will
be garbled/staticy.  Otherwise, Mac samples should sound Excellent on the
Amiga (at 11.1 KHz).  I am not sure if AMax II automatically makes the
desired conversion, and frankly I am not sure if it is possible for AMax
to do this at all.

Thanks for the reports on AMaxx II.
