I know that this topic has been discussed before but could some one tell me if there is any reason why AUX could not run on the SE/30? If there is none, then why is it not supported by Apple? John Sun North Carolina Memorial Hospital sunj@dopey.cs.unc.edu

I think someone said something about A/UX making assumptions about the minimum screen size. If that's the only reason, I don't think there's any reason why they wouldn't change it. Now, if there's any other reason, it'd be interesing to see what. -Sho

I think the problem was the availability of an ethernet card, but, I may be wrong. I think they said they'll wait untill one is available and make sure it's compatible with A/UX before officially supporting A/UX on the SE/30.

How do you print from a II running A/UX? The explanation I heard was that there is not yet a way to print from an SEx running A/UX. In any event, none of the suggested reasons for A/UX not running on the SEx seem to be killers. Just a matter of Apple working the bugs out--and wanting to do so.

A/UX 1.1 does run on an SE/30 - I have seen it and used it at the UNIX Users Group meeting a couple of months ago in San Diego. Clinched my desire to get one - a UNIX system that can be carried in one hand! (The screen is too small to run X windows, though).
