  Being a A-MaxII owner, I copied this and tried it to no avail.  The 
documentation is rather sparse and makes assumptions that you had the 
previous version.  Has anybody else be able to make this work?

  I tried macron -s sys:util/A-maxii/rom.hex.  It loaded and put a little
message on the screen saying the save module was loaded.  I then ran A-Maxii,
selected the shutdown option, rebooted but found no rom image.  Using
the -L option caused Amax to fail in reading the cartridge.  

  Also the program identifies itself as version 1.1, not version 2.0.  Is
this correct?

  I have A-MAXII version 2.0, if that matters.

   What?  Preemptive Multitasking in only 256K of RAM?  :^)  :^)
