- ERRRT. WRONG. DEAD WRONG. I HAVE seen the beta version of AMAX II+.
- You just desribed AMAX II. VERSION II+ DOES the FX to a tee.
- Well, you said $300 was just a start. Well, yeah. I have had to spend
- gobs on my //GS. RAMFAST, HARD DRIVE, ZIP GSX, SONIC BLASTER, RAM.
- You need to spend money to improve any computer company's low end
- model. The 3000 gives you 68030 or 68040 at 20+ mhz for much less than
- any color mac. The funniest thing was running Soft PC mac version from
- AMAX. !!
