    There re two forms of the AmigaTosh Drive.  One is the AmigaTosh,
which is just a MacCompatible drive, and the second is a Mac Compatible
drive that also has an eject button (So Amigaoids can use 'em).  It
automatically ejects under A-Max (weird to see a button depress itself!
;-) , and works quite well.  I don't know if it's Mac only under AMAX or
not.

Word About AMAX 2.0, from GEnie:

    2.0 SHOULD be out in December or January 1990.  It will be a paid
upgrade (BOO!!!!!!!!!!), and will include HD Support for most st-506 and
SCSI drives, as well as binary transfer between the Mac side and Amiga
side.  Appletalk/LocalTalk (which?) is considered, but sound support
will probably not be included (BOO, Again!).

  Oh yeah, the second AmigaTosh drive is called the AmigaTosh Plus.  I'd
reccommend it (as you no longer need that gaudy hardware sticking out
from the back, or stuffed inside the 2000 like mine is)

P.S.: Could someone tell me how to fix an intermittant 'a' key? (if I
press real hard, it works, otherwise, it might not)
