   Well I did it.  After hearing me mumble under my breath for the
last few months about "better than a macintosh", "better than a pc"
and "emulates both", my boss has finally consented to look at buying
one.  PROBLEM: The first words he mumbled on the subject were "documentation
of features."

Where can I find out:

AMAX:
	1) Does Amax support appletalk
	2) What kind of drive does one buy with amax
	   to get mac compatibility
	3) Can amax use amiga harddrive?
	4) Can it run MSword, PowerPoint, Excel?
	5) Where/how much are the roms?

The 80286 board:
	1) What's it called?
	2) Does it run *all* pc programs?
	3) Can it use the amiga harddriver?
	4) Can it use the amiga 3.5" drive as a 720K PC drive?
	   (If not, wadoIdo?)

The 68020/030 boars:
	1) What's out there that works with both Amax and the PC-board?
	2) Is it worth getting either?

RAM:
	1) Who sells 32-bit ram that would work with those things?

	PLEASE, I know how to get a hold of Amigaworld/Computer Shopper,
	but I need this information yesterday, and since this seems to
	be one of the more tech-informed newsgroups I could use the
	help :)
