Does anyone know if the A/MAX emulator will be available soon? I've
heard that it should not have the problem with need for contigous
memory, which would only give a 256K Mac with today's 512K chipmem chip.
Is this true? Is the quoted price $160 correct? $140 for Mac 128K ROMS?
Will it be able to use all memory in a 3Meg machine? Any problems with
the A2620?

Thanks for Your help,
