>(question 'bout A-Max II on the A3000 series)

A-Max works flawlessly as designed on the 3000.  If by "flawlessly"
you mean that it runs every piece of Mac software ever written
without crashing, that it does not, and cannot do.  :-)  But it
runs just as well (if not better) on the 3000 as any other Amiga.
Note that you should make sure you get version 2.06 or newer;
there was a slight bug in earlier versions of 2.0 dealing with
RAM allocation.  If you buy it and yours is earlier than 2.06,
ReadySoft will send you the upgrade free.

It does work with 3000 floppies and hard drives.

It does NOT work with multiple serial ports.  A-Max accesses the
serial port hardware directly, as maximum speed and compatibility
are at stake if they did anything else.  Out of curiosity, what
would you like to use more than one serial port for?
