Has anyone gotten the MacRom2 program posted eariler to work?
I have a 2000HD with 2 internal drives and 3 Meg 'o Mem.
AMAX1 and 2.0 upgrade and 128K ROMS.

The steps I've tried:
   1) run macrom2 -s hddev:filename
      result: "...Save module installed..." etc.
   2) run A-MAXStartup
   3) click on GO AMAX

   4) After roms are loaded message - press return or escape (tried both)
      result: Looked for rom file (filename) on device (hddev) and
              couldn't find a new file ANYWHERE....

I can't seem to get Macrom2 to read/save the ROMS.  I ran SnoopDos
before I start Macrom -s hddev:filename and SnoopDos doesn't "see"
any files accessed at any point in the 4 steps I've listed...

(NOTE: SnoopDos is a program that watches calls to open files, etc
       to help you debug configuration problems. Great Program!)

I have also gone ahead, in complete desperation, and tried to load the
none existant rom file just to see what happens.

   1) run macrom -l hddev:filename
      result: "...Load Module installed..."
   2) run A-MAXStartup
   3) click on GO AMAX
   4) Message about *attempt* to load ROMS.
      Result:  Cart. not found error - reboot and try again message.

If anybody has any help I'd appreciate it.  Even posting Macrom1 might
help... (I have both Amax 1 and 2).

Might the problem be that the Macrom2 program "expects" the ROM cart.
at a certain device number.  Like in the df1: position (since I have 2
internal drives it would be like df3:) Just a guess?

Many thanks for any help you can provide.  You can email me if you like.
Thanks Again,

Jeff
