- Well your out of luck with AMAX IV as it's no longer supported.
-
- You can try Shapeshifter for FREE. It's ONLY $40 to Register, Quite CHEAP!
-
- Shapeshifter like AMAX Can't read Low Density MAC Disks. You would be a MAC
- Floppy drive for that are they changed SPEEDS depending on where the drive was
- beinf accessed at, Amiga and IBM Floppy drives don't do that, Mac High Density
- Drives Don't do that either, so if you have a High Density Drive for your
- Amiga you can read High Density Mac Disks. You and read Custom Low Density
- Shapeshifter AMax formated Floppys, but a Mac can't read those I think, and
- you can't read the Macs. There are Ways to get around this.
-
- Shapeshifter and use filedisks, there are Posted Shapeshifter Boot Filedisks
- you can use to get going, depending on which one you get there around 1.5 Megs
- in size. You can then go on from there using the Mac to Download files you
- need, or the Amiga. Myself I have a High Density Floppy Drive in my A1200, I
- have System 7.5 and 7.5.1 on High Density Floppys, so it was quite easy to
- install.
