CrossMAC(TM)

CrossMAC Completes the Final Link Between
the Three Major Computer Platforms.

Plymouth, MI, USA -- CrossMAC is an installable Mac file system for the Amiga. In concert with our product CrossDOS(TM) (The MS-DOS file system), we complete the link between the Amiga and the other two major computer platforms. CrossMAC provides the same style of transparent access to Mac data from the Amiga that CrossDOS customers have come to enjoy. The development of this product represents more than two years of code generation and refinement.

Advanced features of CrossMAC:

Access Mac Floppies

CrossMAC allows the Amiga to access Mac- formatted floppies of the following types: 800K Mac low-density* 1.44M Mac high-density** 800K AMAX low-density (no add'l hardware req'd) 800K Emplant low-density (no add'l hardware req'd)

* requires either an AMAX or AMIA cartridge and 800K Mac drive or the AMAX II+/IV cards.
** requires Amiga high-density drive.

Access Mac Hard Disks

CrossMAC can be configured to access virtually any Mac hard disk that can be physically accessed on the Amiga such as Syquest, Bernoulli. This also includes AMAX partitions and Mac HFS CD-ROMs.

Displays Mac Icons

CrossMAC automatically displays the Mac icons on the Amiga's Workbench as they would normally be seen on the Mac system.

Support of Resource Forks

CrossMAC automatically allows access to the Mac file's resource fork. We also provide a utility to view or extract information from the embedded resources.

Support of MacBinary Files

CrossMAC supports the creation of MacBinary files as well as the automatic separation of data and resource forks from a MacBinary file.

System Requirements

CrossMAC will run on any Amiga that is running AmigaDOS 2.0 or higher. Depending on the type of Mac media to be used, the following drive is required:

• 1.44M Mac floppies: Amiga high-density drive.
• 800K Mac floppies: either the AMAX or AMIA cartridge and a 800K Mac drive or the AMAX II+/IV card and a standard Amiga floppy.
• 800K AMAX or EMPLANT floppy: one Amiga floppy drive.
• Hard drive (any size): appropriate Amiga SCSI controller.
