[comp.sys.mac.misc] A/UX 2.0 and IIsi

What is the probability of having A/UX 2.0 work reasonably well on a IIsi?
Is the IIsi fast enough to make A/UX 2.0 useable?

For those who have not seen a demo of A/UX 2.0, it is very nice. It's
wonderful to know that you support a machine that can run Mac software,
DOS software (via SoftPC or hardware card), UNIX, and X-windows all at
the same time. Shove that in the face of someone who babbles something
about how Windows 3.0 is the wave of the future ;-)

A/UX 2.0.1 will support the IIsi.  See comp.unix.aux for the press
announcement.

Zero.  It need 2.01, coming soon (?).

I don't see why not.  It runs just fine on a II.
