I have uploaded to the ab20 archive a set of files in AmaxRam.lzh which
will allow all Amax users (with enough RAM) to save their Amax RAM disk to 
any Amiga hard drive.  This works with Amax I and II.  It may also be of
use to those who may already have hard drives that work with Amax, but
would like to pre-load the Amax RAM disk before use.

I also see this as an excellent way to do file conversions.  I myself do
not have the Mac expertise to decipher the Mac file system which will
be contained in the RAM disk image that my program saves to disk.  But
I have looked at the file with a byte-level editor, and the files are
there, just waiting to be read in and converted.  This would even work 
for very large files, up to 7 megs if you have enough RAM.

Enjoy.
