Actually, they do.  The new AMAX II Plus (catchy name eh?) is a
hardware/software solution and the hardware comes with 2 standard Mac serial
ports and Appletalk ports.  From the literature, it's supposed to be totally
compatible with Mac ports and Appletalk.  You can now read/write Mac disks on
standard Amiga drives (as the literature states).
