- Hi Doug,
- I missed the earlier part of your thread, but I'm running SS3.3 on an A3000
- w/ Ados3.1 and the AmaxII cartridge, and it works great for accessing mac
- 800K floppies, if that's what you were asking.
-
- My Amax2.56 software also still runs fine, even w/ wb3.1, though I think
- some people had problems w/ AmaxIV. YMMV. One thing I did have to do for
- Amax and 3.1 however was to turn of "Synchronous Transfers" in the 3000's
- scsi controller NVRAM (use battmem, scsiprefs, etc.). Seems Amax did not
- like synch txfers; it hangs w/ a green screen at the very first part of
- starting the emulation...otherwise, with that turned off, it worked fine!
