Yeah.. I tried getting it to work for three hours straight.
	I tried: 1) Booting off the installition floppies
			 	- that didn't even boot
			 2) booting with a 6.0.3 disk and running the installer
				- that got to 1/3 way then died.
			 3) Reformatting my AMAX1: partition and tring steps 1-3
			 4) Copying an already laid down system 7.0 on the HD and
bascially, it got the happy mac - then reboot infinately.
	Someone else tried:
			 1) Installing 7.0 on ANOTHER hd on a REAL mac, and then
putting it on AMAX. That didnt work etiher.

This leads me to the conclusion that 7.0 has built in Amax detection.
I'm not kidding about this... this could simply be a small thing
to fix (ie: hack 7.0 to work) but I doubt it...

Anyone want to call readysoft and post their findings while I 
reformat my HD 6.0.7 again, as I've lost everything in the process
of getting 7.0 on there.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT 7.0 ON YOUR AMAX: partition. IT WILL NOT WORK!
That is all
