If this is the case, can MACROM be found someplace?  I own a legitimate
copy of AMAX II along with the MAC PLUS ROMS and would do anything to
make AMAX II load up faster.  Waiting the 30 seconds or so for the thing
to read in those ROMS when it can be done in about 1 or 2 seconds off
hard drive makes a huge difference.  I have seen the older version of
AMAX operate with MACROM, but could never figure out how to make it work
with AMAX II.
