This thing allow you to read mac disks in amiga drives, isn't that what AmaxII+ hardware is promising? And more, you can access Mac disks even when you are out of AMAXII mode. That sounds pretty useful too. I'm very fasinated by this new product. I called them on Saturday, they said that the technical people will be back on monday after 9:00AM. I'll call them for more details. Any opinions, explainations, are extremely welcome. {I have no relation with this company whatsoever}
