I am curious as to the number of users a Mac II can support simultaneously
under A/UX. Clearly I would need to add a serial port board if I wanted to run
more than three people. Can it handle up to (say) twelve users? Does anyone
have any experience with add-in serial boards yet?
The '030 machine due tomorrow seems to run ~20% faster than a II, but I have
never seen it running A/UX. Is there a big win in having an on-chip MMU that
translates into a bigger performance increase than under the Mac OS? How many
more users can I expect to throw on this box?
"Enquiring clients want to know" :-)
Thanks in advance

The manual recommends two megs per user. Also, I'd check into a multi-user license... :->

Gee, I wonder if we'll see 4mb chips before the 1mb situation ever gets any better... Hmmm... If I could just get ahold of some samples, say, eight 4mb SIMMs - that would make 32mb of RAM, which should support 16 users, right? Actually, at this point in time, I just have 2mb, and I'd be thrilled just to jump to 5mb - still waiting... ----- Steve Lemke -------------- (What do you mean I only get five lines?) ----- Internet: steve@ivucsb.UUCP; lemke@apple.COM AppleLink: LEMKE ----- uucp: pyramid!comdesign!ivucsb!steve CompuServe: 73627,570 ----- alt.uucp: {decwrl!}sun!apple!lemke GEnie: S.Lemke
