Thanks for the feedback everyone! Snagging this gear for these prices (esp. the sidecar HDD / RAM pack) was easily the highlight of my year from a retro-computing perspective.
Here are some pics of the Amiga booting into Mac OS 6.0.1:
The display flickers like crazy when in Mac-mode (not to mention the challenges of getting a decent picture of a CRT with a digital camera), but there are several display options in the A-Max config panel that I haven't tested yet. My Amiga RGB monitor cable has a loose wire (need to solder it back together) which is already causing some display headaches, and I've suspended my A500 tinkering until I get that resolved. In any case, I was genuinely impressed by the performance and 'feel' of Mac OS on the Amiga - other than the slow floppy access, it didn't feel any slower than running a standard Compact Mac natively. Pretty cool.
