     I'm sure this has all been discussed here before, but I missed it -
it's hard to go through this group when I come back from vacation and find
over 1000 articles waiting! 
     I'm looking for information about AMAX II, specifically:

 - What hardware/software do you get?  A Zorro II card?  One of those
funky little boxes that plugs into your disk drive port and holds the
ROM?  What's on the Zorro II card?
 - How good is the sound support?   Is the card required for this?  How
is it with games?
 - How compatable is AMAX _itself_ with games?  MIDI?
 - Does AMAX II take advantage of ALL the new ECS modes, or just some?
 - I have heard that AMAX II can read Mac disks, but you need the card; 
is this true?  (This also implies that the card is extra).  If so, any
idea how this works?  Do you have to plug a disk drive into the card?
-  Does AMAX II work on an A3000 (I thought I saw mention of that earlier)?
-  What are the costs involved in buying AMAX II?
-  Will the AMAX II card work properly in a Pheonix Expansion Toolbox hooked
up to an A500?

     Please E-Mail; Technical answers are welcome!  Thanks in advance!
