Does every AMAX owner have this problem?  There *is* another way to access
the files on those "disks" on apple.com.

Check the FTP archives at SUMEX (sumex-aim.stanford.edu or 36.44.0.6) in
the directory /info-mac/cdev.  You'll find an INIT/cdev called "MountImage".
Put it in your System Folder and reboot, and you'll be able to use the
Control Panel to "mount" the image files as if they were real disks.
You can then format other floppies with the same names as the "disk" images,
and copy the files from the images to the real floppies.

I don't see how this should fail.  But then, I'm a Mac owner, not an
AMAX owner; I'm just trying to help.
