Greetings...

I own an A2000 and am thinking about getting AMax for use with MIDI and
word processing software (although I don't feel the same about Apple
Computers, I think some Mac programs work well and are worth my money).

My question is:
  If I do get the real thing (i.e. the AMax box w/ROMS and a Mac drive)
  will I be able to use my Amiga MIDI interface with it, or will I have
  to do some special hacking?

I also heard someone say that Amiga printer drivers can't be called from
Mac programs.  I'm not sure that's true, but if it is, is there a way to
hack that too?

Or does AMax only allow you to run programs which don't use perpihs?

Thanks for any information or advice, please reply via e-mail to 
avoid net.clutter, and, of course, after a while I'll post a summary.
