- I have the AMAX IV board with roms installed.
- I have 12 megs of RAM with 8 available after
- booting up. Also have a retina Z3 with 4 megs
- of ram. using A3000 25 mhz '030
-
- ok. now for the questions.
-
- also downloaded shapeshifter.
-
- 1) installed amax iv. upon running, i set up
- the prefs and it goes to boot. i get the happy
- mac face and then it gets in a loop of rebooting
- amax again and again.. so its mac boot.. die...
- mac boot... die... etc. whats wrong?
-
- 2) how alright is shapeshifter on a '030? fast
- enough? havent unarchived it yet. i also need a
- boot file.
-
- other notes: i got a so called shapeshifter boot
- file from the net a while back and tried using it
- with amax iv. i get the mac happy face and then
- a message saying something like "shapeshifter...
- play and then pay" and then it hangs. i was wondering
- if perhaps my mac harddrive partition was bad or
- something. i dont know why. the partition worked fine
- under amax ii. but since its been almost a year since
- then, i tried the shapeshifter bootfile. please please
- please help me. i really need solid mac. i was fine with
- amax ii but then i upgraded to workbench 3.1 and was
- forced to switch up to amax iv. i figure it should all
- work fine. in the end im going to have about 16 megs of
- ram. enough to run system 7.1 i believe.
-
- please email the responses. im at: jmauric@hubcap.clemson.edu
- thanks for any help/suggestions/comments.
