You can get this to work provided you are running AmigaDOS 2.0.
There is no need to `mount' an A-Max partition before starting A-Max
with the 2091 controller! I assume that your partition workes o.k.
If so, then follow these easy steps.....

Note : Make a BACKUP in a-max using a Mac backup tool first! BEFORE
       attempting this process...... I will not be made responsible
       for any damages incurred......

1.	Load C='s hard disk tool box.    

2.	Click on your A-Max partition then select Change File System.

3.	Change the File System for the partition from FastFileSystem
  	or whatever it is, to RESERVED.

4.	Return to the Main Screen and select `save changes', a requester
	will pop up with `The following action will delete the partition
	A-Max1' etc. Ignore this message and select continue.

5.	The computer will now reset and once you get going again the
	Icon will no longer be there.
