   After messing with AMax and my hard drive, I finally got my partition to
work.  If I disconnect my external drive (ribbon cable connected to external
port on back of A2091), AMax boots perfectly from my internal partition.
I was originally trying to get AMax to work on my external drive.  I gave up,
repartitioned by internal to allow room, and it worked!  I was wondering
if anyone else ran across this problem.  If not, could anyone tell me what
I may be doing wrong.  It is becoming quite a pain having to unplug the drive.
Feels like the old days when I had my A1000 and I had to unplug the floppy.
Anyway, the situation is uncool at best and I was hoping someone would have
a suggestion for me.  The best idea I have so far is to scrap the A2091 and
get a GVP card.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated... Thanks,

P.S.  I hope this message was clear--I am having problems with multiple
      HARD disks connected to the A2091 (like everyone else.)
