Im a new user of A/UX 2.0 and I have two problems I can't solve. 1. I'm using a Mac IIci with an internal Quantum 160mb drive (not Apple),and an Apple 80SC external drive, on which A/UX is loaded. IUve used the Standard A/UX partition and loaded A/UX with no problems. When I boot from the 80SC, the Finder comes up showing the MacPartition as the boot disk, and my 160mb disk as the second drive (all as it should). However, when I launch A/UX, only the MacPartition shows in the A/UX Finder. My 160mb Mac Drive is nowhere to be found. It is my understanding that I should be able to use the MacPartition and my other drive. Am I doing something wrong? 2. I'm using a Hayes 2400 Baud Internal modem in my machine. I canUt figure out how to get A/UX to recognize the modem. I seems to only look at serial ports 1 & 2. The CDEV "HayesConnect" came with the modem, with which you can force the machine to use the internal modem instead of one of the serial ports. This doesn't seem to work when using A/UX. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help

No. The partition map on the Quantum isn't right. It needs to be reformatted, either with HD Setup (the version shipped with 2.0) or a recent release of SilverLining. If it's not being mounted, it means that A/UX isn't recognizing it. Other possible problems with disks: if you're using a partitioning setup that uses an INIT to deal with the partitions, you're out of luck. It's got to use hard partitions (on the disk). And A/UX doesn't currently support multiple MacOS partitions on a single disk. >2. I'm using a Hayes 2400 Baud Internal modem in my machine.

HayesConnect does a lot of really nasty stuff to the innards to convince MacOS that the nubus card is really a serial port (all of which is necessary since term progs only know how to talk to serial ports). You can't do that stuff under A/UX unless you put the support into the kernel. -- Chuq Von Rospach <+> chuq@apple.com <+> [This is myself speaking] Due to popular request, I've removed the "Small World" theme from my signature.
