     After hacking around like you wouldn't believe with Sys 7.0 to get it even
INSTALLED on AMAX... I had the same problem as anyone else: the sad mac.

     In short... i don't believe sys 7.0 will work on AMAX.  But to be honest:
the biggest advantages of it work on an Appletalk networked Mac, and the only
thing you'd be getting that's better is Virtual Memory (hard disk space can be
used as memory) which is SLOW AS SIN and TrueType (which'll only work if you
have an Apple printer as far as I understand it) fonts.
     To me... it isn't worth the trouble.

     P.S. Has ANYBODY gotten the Multifinder to run on AMAX and still allow
you to do everything normally?  Like get into the DA's?
