	I have a Cutting Edge drive which is available from major Mac mail
order houses (MacConnection, MacWarehouse, et al.) for $150.  It works fine
with my A-Max also, though I have seen a report or two that some people had
to make some simple mods to their A-Max to get it to work.  The instructions
for the mod came from Ready-Soft -- the A-Max manufacturer.  I am not
certain whether it was an older Cutting Edge drive or not.
