[comp.sys.mac.system] Mac II SI Support A/UX

jbasara@ssdc (jim basara) (11/29/90)

I am currently considering purchasing a Mac IIsi, but I have a few questions
for some current owners.

1.  Will the si support A/UX?

2.  With A/UX and X windows, will the si run like a pig (ie. should I go ci)?

I'd appreciate any response to these questions as well as comments about
the general level of satisfaction among current users.

Also, if anyone is currently using an si for MIDI, I would really like to 
know what your configuration is and how the si performs for that purpose.

Thanks in advance!

Since the finder shell under A/UX is 6.0.5 and the si wants 6.0.7
you will have to wait to run Mac apps under the finder partition. 
Apple engineers at a past seminar said it was being worked on.

The IIsi will be supported by A/UX 2.0.1, which is due to go into Beta in
a week or two. Expect to see it sometime between February and April.

It is _not_ possible to use the si with A/UX 2.0.
