The program info-mac/cdev/mouse-scaling.hqx will set your mouse speed at bootup. To setup the sound, try info-mac/cdev/pramset.hqx or info-mac/init/xpram.hqx. Note that almost all of the programs are both compressed with Stuffit and then converted to ASCII with BinHqx. To get these programs, try info-mac/util/binhqx4.bin and info-mac/util/stuffit-151.hqx. Also, to get listings of all the programs and what they do, go into any directory (ie. cd info-mac/util) and get the file that starts with two zeros. (ie. 00util-abstracts.abs). All of the description files start with 00 and end with -abstracts.abs. They are straight ASCII files. There are so many programs there that I highly recommend downloading some of these abstracts. I am in the process of listing all the Mac software that does/does not work under A-MaxII. It will be quite a large list (broken into two parts: PD and Commercial) and I am accepting test results form net users. So, drop me a line with your test results! (I have been truly amazed that most everything I have tried works!) I hope to have the next results out in early January. I am also drafting a most "frequently asked questions" list for A-MaxII. Please help me out and send me some topics. (This will be out in early January too.) > BTW, is amax II sweet or what autobooting off a 3000/25??! hheheh I'll bet. For me, I like the fact that A-MaxII can use the 256K of Kickstart RAM.
