I am in the process of putting together a small cluster of A/UX
Mac IIs to support an InterMedia Project (Brown University's).
I intend to have 2 client stations and 1 document server (plus
Ingres served from some other Unix machine). I plan to buy
stripped down Mac IIs and add drives and memory. Probably internal
80 or 100MB internal drives on the clients and a 300MB for the server.
Does anyone have opinions about using A/UX on CMS drives or Rodimes?
Got any favorites? How about memory. I know I need 4MB minimum
on each station. Any hints about where to buy the memory?

Ordering 4 MB from Apple takes about 8-12 months. Ordering 4 MB with your A/UX system takes 5 working days. Take advantage of your situation, and buy the memory while you have the chance. (it's also cheaper to get it inside the A/UX system,... especially after the recent price increases) Matthew Kaufman matthew@ucscb.ucsc.edu ...!ucbvax!ucscc!ucscb!matthew

They don't sell it on floppies. Please, let's not steal. As for getting memory, one of the ways people have mentioned is to buy a 4 meg A/UX machine and throw away the A/UX. (Apple ships 4 meg A/UX Mac II's very quickly, otherwise long waiting list.) Kent Borg kent@lloyd.uucp or hscfvax!lloyd!kent

You get one 80Mb disk full and the legal right to copy 5,10, or how ever many times you've paid for (I think they sell them as 5, 10, 20, and 50's, but I don't have my developer price list here to check). Remember the manuals are also unbundled......The per copy cost of A/UX is very reasonable this way, I think I remember it working out to be about $400/copy + manuals....

The latest Consortium Price List offers AU/X on floppy as a product. -- Dave Falkenburg @ University of Michigan Computer Aided Engineering Network My opinions are my own, not those of my employer(s), etc., etc., etc., etc. Internet: falken@caen.engin.umich.edu UUCP: umix!caen.engin.umich.edu
