This part is true. The next sentence I screwed up becuase ReadySoft didn't see fit to update their README file properly: >>Not all users need the upgrade.

They fixed this. >It's now AX0:, AX1:, etc... 2.06 still works fine with my AMAX: partition, so maybe we should modify this to say it will now ALSO work with AX0:, AX1:, etc. >Comspec Controllers are now supported. >Silicon Peace's EXTAM-688 is now supported. I asked about info on these a week ago... Thanks >and a few bugs were removed also... What are they? I mean, in addition to the RAM bug and the Printing bug? Again, the ONLY thing added to the README file is about the RAM bug. ReadySoft needs to do some more work in documentation... >I'd say it's a bit faster from what I've seen too... Well worth >upgrading if you ask me... Every time there is an upgrade, people claim it is a bit faster than the previous one. I've never noticed any speed increase. If A-Max actually sped up each time the amount people thought it did, we'd have Mac II speed on an unaccelerated Amiga by now... >Dave Carlton (davidc@ziebmef.mef.org!white.toronto.edu) Kurt -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- || Kurt Tappe (215) 363-9485 || With.
