Central Coast Software sells Mac-2-Dos.  Their package B for 349US includes
Mac-2-Dos program and a Mac-compatible 3.5 floppy drive.  It also includes
a software driver to enable to use a Mac drive to read/write AmigaDOS disks.
N.B. that the driver is not included with the software only package A for
99US.

M.A.S.T sell two different mac compatible drives.  The cheaper one plugs
into the Mac-2-dos or amax interface.  The Amiga-tosh plus drive plugs
right into the amiga and has sockets inside it in which you can put
the MAC ROM's from your AMAX.
