I currently own Amax I and I did get the upgrade offer to Amax II though
I chose not to purchase it then because Amax I was sufficient for my
purposes and I did not have a harddrive then.  Now that I do own a 
harddrive I am considering on purchasing the Amax II.  The problem that
I have is that I have heard from friends that Amax II will not work on
the harddrives unless WB 1.3 roms are installed on the Amiga.  I did not
purchase the WB 1.3 roms because I figured WB 2.0 roms would be available
so, I am currently booting off my floppy disk and reassigning everything
to my harddrive for control.  Has anybody been able to create a Mac partition
and use that mac partition from Amax II without WB 1.3 roms?  If you did, I
would be very grateful if you would tell me how you did it.  Like I said,
Amax I is/was sufficient for my needs but since I have a hardrive w/o 
WB1.3 roms, I would like to know if I could still create and use a mac
partition.

My current setup:

	A2000 w/ 5 megs w/o WB 1.3 roms
	1 meg Agnus
	GVP Series II controller w/ 200 meg harddrive
	Amax I w/ external Mac compatible drive.


If someone can solve my dilemma either e-mail or post is fine.
