> Amax II works off of my amiga 1010 drive on my Amiga 1000 with no problem.

 I figured out the problem with this one... The apple drive needs a 12v 
signal to run, the amax cart itself doesnt. This coupled with the fact 
that the 1010 doesnt pass the 12v signal on gave me the problem of seeing 
if amax was working by looking for the little red light to come on the 
disk drive as being totally wrong. Fortunately I have found a hack to pass 
the 12v line thru and am just looking for someone who has used a soldering 
iron before to help me with it. 
 
 My problem now is how can I use these apple drives in Amiga mode?? The 
MAST drive looks an awfull lot alike a amiga drive, but then again, a disk 
drive is almost a disk drive..just the variable rate kicks. Could I just 
get a different cable and use the Mast drive?? I have a $150 and a $200 
disk drives just sitting here most of the time. (The rice is the main 
reason I would have rather gone mail order, but I needed that report done 
by the next morning and most (18 pages) was already done on Word).

   Can anyone help me out on this one??
