I have a few questions I hope to have answered regarding A/UX. It is to be eventually used on a IIci. Does anyone know which hard drives (from 80meg and up) are not compatible with A/UX? I seem to recall some mention of this in past postings. What drives would you recommend for use with A/UX? As for tape drives for archival purposes, does all the current drives with various tape drive formats eg. TEAC DC600,DC200 etc. work with A/UX when attached to a IIci? If not, what are the tape drives that will work with both A/UX and MacOS? In general, are all SCSI devices accessible by MacOS also accessible by A/UX? How much disk memory does A/UX, GNU-emacs, gcc, X11 each require individually? Will GNU and X work on with A/UX or a hacked version required? Is a C compiler packaged with A/UX ? I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on the above queries. I have a feeling that not all peripherals attached to a Mac are equal where MacOS and A/UX are concerned. I hope to also discover the reason behind the incompatibilities. Guidance to more literature regarding A/UX would be helpful. Thanks in advance to those who are kind enough to respond.
