Sorry, Drew, I must have confused you a bit!  The IIcx runs A/UX now.  The
SE/30 is the one to watch in the future.  Right now it has some minor
cosmetic problems with A/UX which relate to the small screen size.  A/UX
makes some fascist assumptions about minimum screen width and height.  Hence,
we have not formally announced it's availability on the SE/30.  LocalTalk
support for A/UX on the SE/30 is problematical, unless you have a network
which provides a gateway.
