Not directly, because A-Max only supports real floppy drives, hard drives and partitions connected to supported controllers, and its own internal RAM disk as bootable storage devices. Just curious can you make A-Max boot from the vice mounted Disk? Make the Mac disks using the program winimage, the disks should be named.
Toni, can you think of why this would not work? Does WinUAE make PC/DOS-centric assumptions about floppy images that are 1.44M in size? Has anyone else had success reading HD Mac floppies with CrossMac? I can also read MS-DOS 1.44M HD floppy images using CrossDOS without any problem as well.
I have verified that the floppy images I'm using are valid, and I can mount and read them with CrossMac using the vice virtual floppy driver, so it definitely seems to be a problem with WinUAE correctly recognizing or passing the data from the disk image to the emulated Amiga OS. However, CrossMac and A-Max both report HD disks as unreadable upon insertion. I am unable to read Mac-formatted 1.44M high-density floppy images using either CrossMac or A-Max 2.5 (the earliest version of A-Max to support HD floppies.) Unlike 800k low-density floppies, which are unreadable on an Amiga without a real Mac-compatible 800k floppy drive connected through an A-Max cartridge, Mac HD floppies are written using the exact same physical encoding and geometry as MS-DOS HD floppies, and so are readable directly in high density Amiga floppy drives using CrossMac or A-Max version 2.5 or later.
