I purchased AU/X 1.1.1 on disk to install on an SE/30 which is equiped with an 80meg Microtech drive - I believe the model type is a Nova 80. Unfortunately - AU/X requires the use of 'HD SC' (the Apple Hard disk utility) before AU/X can be installed. As I know understand the process - 'HD SC' looks for special ROM's on the Apple drives - I have no idea if this is the case but........ 'HD SC' does not work - on any of the third party drives I have tried it on. Is there partitioning software out there - that can handle this problem. Now that I understand that the Hard drive must be AU/X compatible - has someone created a work around or are there AU/X compatible third party drives out there. Take Care.

Try the MicroNet manager (4.0g) or the MacInStore Installer (2.0.1). Both of
these programs can set up A/UX on generic disks. Or get the latest installer
from the drive vendor.

My A/UX package hasn't arrived so I haven't tested this but I did partition my drive successfully for A/UX. Now I have Cirrus drive icon instead of a Nova icon too. I called Microtech and they don't currently have software to partition their drive for A/UX. I'll let you know how everything worked out with Silverlining after I install my A/UX package.
