[comp.sys.mac] why not A/UX on Mac SE?

gustav@swanee.OZ (Gustav) (05/05/87)

	     Mac II with it's implementation of UNIX is  sure  going
	to  be  a very fine system. But there is one draw back: it's
	going to be rather difficult to move it around. A big box, a
	separate  monitor...  in this respect the old Mac was a neat
	and practical solution.
	
	     An alternative to A/UX on Mac II might be  A/UX plus an
	appropriate  68020  and MMU card for Mac SE. Mac SE can take
	in one card - why not this one? This type of enhancement  is
	so obvious and natural that if Apple is not going to come up
	with it, almost certainly someone else will.
	
	     So, please, if you know something about it already, let
	me know. I may happen to be your first customer.

Why not run A/UX on a Macintosh Plus?

I wouldn't be suprised if a Prodigy Prime runs A/UX.  It is
socketed for a MC68851 PMMU for just that reason.
