I figured out the problem with this one... The apple drive needs a 12v signal to run, the amax cart itself doesnt. This coupled with the fact that the 1010 doesnt pass the 12v signal on gave me the problem of seeing if amax was working by looking for the little red light to come on the disk drive as being totally wrong. Fortunately I have found a hack to pass the 12v line thru and am just looking for someone who has used a soldering iron before to help me with it. My problem now is how can I use these apple drives in Amiga mode?? The MAST drive looks an awfull lot alike a amiga drive, but then again, a disk drive is almost a disk drive..just the variable rate kicks. Could I just get a different cable and use the Mast drive?? I have a $150 and a $200 disk drives just sitting here most of the time. (The rice is the main reason I would have rather gone mail order, but I needed that report done by the next morning and most (18 pages) was already done on Word). Can anyone help me out on this one??
