Emax

max is 7.6.1

any machine before g3 will work


but if using audiomedia3 card it does not talk to sd2

only cards that talk to sd2 is audiomedia2 and soundtools1 and 
soundexcellerator2

but these only work in nubus macs

i have a macIIsi

which works perfect 128mb ram and scsi as standard and floppy disk

g3 no floppy support

so have older programs problem loading
