A freind recent brought his A-Max (original version) over for me to try out.  
I am running a V6.2 motherboard A2000, 3 Megs of ram (with Supra 2000), fatter 
Agnus, 2 3.5" drives, and TrumpCard Controller.
 
The problem:  WHen I booted up A-Max it functioned Great.  Even the TCBoot 
utility would work to bring up the TrumpCard controller under A-Max.  However, 
as Murphy will tell you, there is a problem...
 
Any attempt to bring up the Programmers Interrupt will lock up the machine.  
It doesn't matter if I remove ALL hardware from the computer except for the 
one 3.5" drive required to run, it still does the same thing.  It locks up 
TIGHT.  The drives stop clicking and everything.  It doesn't matter if I do it 
while A-Max is waiting for a boot disk or after it's booted.
 
A call to Readysoft yeilded, "We've never heard of anything like that.  
Perhaps it's your keyboard," (huh??) "try another one.  Other than that, I 
don't know what to tell you.  A-Max II works fine."
 
My Question is:  Has anyone else ever encountered this sort of problem, and if 
so, what did you do to fix it?  I really would like to get A-Max, but if I 
can't see it running on MY machine, I will not buy it.  I'm sorry, but I don't 
buy "The solution is to buy A-Max II".
 
Thank you for your time and help!
