- The ROMS you put in you AMAX have to be of the '040 variety, older MAC roms
- just won't work.
-
- At the time the MAC emulation seemed important to me so I opted for the
- 50 Mhz '030. I think the '030 board is MUCH less reliable and would pursue
- getting more current ROMS if you need the MAC support, and want the '040.
-
- BTW I have the older AMAX thing-a-ma-jig that plugs into the floppy disk
- port and a MAC drive, wana buy it?
