When I try to bring up A/UX 2.0 on my IIx with a SuperMac Spectrum 8 Series II
video board, it gets to the "Welcome to A/UX; Launching..." stage and
freezes up. I pull the 8/II and drop in an old Apple video board, and
A/UX comes up fine. So, I guess it's the SuperMac board (which, incidentally,
works fine with MacOS).
Has anyone had such problems with alien video, know how such an
incompatibility could arise, or what I can do about it? Must I abandon
my fancy 19" video system?

Fortunately, you should be able to get a ROM upgrade from SuperMac, which will allow A/UX 2.0 to work just fine. Contact their support hotline for more details. If you continue to have problems, please Email me and I will see what I can do for you. -Mike -- ---- Mike Cappella Internet: cappella@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc.
