It works fine with a legitimate copy of A-MAX. This is what is needed to be done. Type in a CLI: MACROM -S disk:file, then run A-Max and click on go A-Max. After it saves the ROM image, to run A-Max at a later dat, you *NEED* to use the -L option of MacRom. You have to type MACROM -L disk:file to let A-Max know to get the ROM image off disk. Then just load A-Max and go A-Max and you're all set. I think people are forgetting to use the -L option. If you're using the -L option and it still won't work, let us know here on the net and we'll try to figure it out.
