Supra Amax Driver  v1.30  6/10/91
			  9/18/91 -- updated for Series III software
			  5/8/92  -- updated for Series III version 3.8A

The Supra Amax driver will allow Amax 2.6 or higher to work with your 
Supra hard drive.  To do this you will need to dedicate one of your 
partitions to Amax.  If you only have 1 partition, you will need to 
backup your hard drive and reformat it for more than one partition, or 
use a MAC hard drive.

INSTALLATION for Series III:
	1.  Copy the file SUPRASCSI.AMHD to the DEVS folder of your 
	    boot device.
	2.  Run SupraHDTools.
	3.  Decide which partition will be dedicated to Amax.  Set the 
	    ID to AMAX.  Set the FLAGS to SKIP.  
	4.  Click on the WRITE RDB button.  
	7.  Choose the "Create Mountlist" menu item under the RDB menu,
	    and click on the "Write Mount List" button in the requester.
	8.  Exit SupraHDTools
	9.  Run MEMACS (or your favorite text editor)
	10.  Load the file SYS:DEVS/MOUNTLIST
	11.  Page to the end of the file
	12.  Insert the file SYS:DEVS/MOUNTLIST.SUPRA_xxx   
	     (xxx is the SCSI number of your HD)
	13.  Delete the new entries, except the AMAX entry.
	14.  Write out the new MOUNTLIST
	15.  Before running Amax, do a MOUNT AMAX:
	16.  Run Amax


EXTERNAL MAC HDs     6/10/91

This version of the Supra Amax driver should work with all external
MAC HDs.  However, since Amax uses the MAC HD driver to control the 
SCSI command sequences, there may be some MAC HD drivers that will 
not work. 

If you are do not have a Amax partition you will have to create a "fake"
mountlist entry for the MAC drive.  The Amax Documention explains how
to do this process.  Be sure that the following line appears in the 
"fake" mountlist entry for your MAC drive:

	Device = suprascsi.device

You will still have to mount the amax partition to allow Amax to work
with your MAC drive.

In addition most MAC HD drivers transfer data using many short data
requests, instead of using a single large request.  This causes
the HD to run much slower than an Amax partition of an Amiga HD.

SPECIAL NOTE:	6/10/91

When using a SyQuest drive that is formated under a MAC, once the 
system(AMAX) has came up, you will have	to use a MAC hard drive 
utility to mount the drive.

PROBLEMS
	1.  Check that you have copied SUPRASCSI.AMHD to the
            DEVS: folder
	2.  Make sure that you have properly created the mountlist
	3.  Check that you are using Amax v2.06 or greater
	4.  Make sure that you are using the proper version of Supra's
	    software and that you are not mixing versions
