I remember reading a while ago on this newsgroup that it was possible
not to have the Amax icon pop up on the Workbench screen. It had
something to do with making the amax partition non-automounting,
but I didn't get it ... if it is not mounted, how can Amax recognize
it while it is started from under workbench? Or does Amax just scan
the hard disk for any partition named Amax* and attempt to start from
it through loading hddisk.device to memory and abandoning AmigaDOS?

I have a A2090A/Rodime ST506 40 MB and AmaxII in my stock A2000HD.
(Kudos to ReadySoft for getting Amax to work with a NON scsi hard
disk. How did they do that, I wonder? I know the A2090A is both a
ST506 and SCSI controller, but ....) BTW, does the 2091 (or the one
on the A3000 anyway) have ST506 capability?

I'd also like to prevent the icons for my boot: and RAM DISK: showing
up, since I rarely use them through workbench. With boot:, I can just
delete the Disk.icon, but for RAM:, where does it copy its stuff from?
How can I prevent the icon for RAM: showing up?

Sorry for putting all questions in one post, but I don't post often.... :)
