It is a total take-over situation.Ĭurious: Did David D. The way mine is set up via hard drive installation, the Mac can't see the Amiga at the same time. I can't answer to a software-only solution. If you don't want an old drive, you can also look into the Floppy Emu to use digital disk images you prepare from your modern PC/Mac. I have the hardware setup, and having the disk option really is very handy. The thing Dalek posted is basically the same thing (sort of). (If not, it would all be back-channel silliness, I suppose - so hang in there.) But I think - if I can access and find his files - there is a shot that the A-max cartridge could be re-released if I can get the proper permissions to do so. I will need a little help next year to set that up and make sure I do it all correctly. If I am able to get his work, I plan on putting some of his RE projects on Github like we did for the Rejuvenator. But, the extremely hard-to-find cartridge (which is a pretty simple PCB) was reverse engineered. He mentioned simply duplicating the board and opining that he'd like to redesign it some day to go vertical rather than sticking straight out the back. I am supposed to meet with his nephew this month in Portland to do the exchange.Īnyway, Chris told me before we did the A-Max/Starboard project together where he wrote the hard drive drivers that he'd reverse engineered the A-max cartridge. I may be receiving my friend Chris Brenner's daily driver powermac later this year or early next.

I have one tiny shred of hope I want to throw your way.
