I've downloaded and used FastMax3.  It seems to work fine.  One
slight problem I had required me to change my goamax script to
cd to the amax directory (where the ROM file is) before running
A-MaxStartup.

Another possible problem may have happened when I clicked on the
close box after the ROMs were loaded; the machine locked up.
Pressing ESC instead seemed to work fine.

If you have Amax, I highly recommend this program.  It makes the
ROMs load in two seconds (or so, depending on your hard drive)
instead of 30 seconds through the floppy port.
