   More handy would be the ability to use MAC-formatted 1.44M disks under
A-Max.  All of the MACs here have SuperDrives, which allows you to store
1.44M of data on HD disks, and it is very annoying to not be able to read
these disks on my Amiga under A-Max.  

   BTW, when will these Commodore-produced HD drives be coming out?  It is
about time, since HD drives have been available for IBM and MAC systems for
about three years.  But, I guess a mere three years late is pretty good for
Commodore.
