There's a PD application called MACROM which allows one to load mac roms
off disk. It saves time over the loading technique amax uses, and contains
logic to save a copy of one's purchased mac roms to disk, or to use that
copy instead of the one amax (amax II) has in the little box. Amax will
then run without directly needing the roms. The amax hardware has to
read the roms into memory to be able to execute them, so clearly
it can be used to read them to disk via this hack, and the files are
ordinary (binary) amigados files. The macrom images do NOT contain
copies of the mac roms; just the hooks to let them be saved to and
used from disk with amax.
