Of course, the Amax-II only runs on 128k Mac ROMs, and only in monochrome. 
So any performance test done on a Mac should be done in monochrome mode.  I 
have a IIci and will post results from Speedometer shortly.  Amax-II is 
silly, in my opinion - it's just there in name to give the Amiga supposed 
Macintosh compatibility.
        
Tell me, what can you do with a black/white 640x400 INTERLACED flickering 
screen display?  Next to nothing.  All new Macs will have 512k 32-bit clean 
ROMs.  That will render newly written software practically useless on the 
Amax.  I think your Amiga friend is suffering from Mac envy, even though 
he'll never admit it.
