To start with. Our computing center here does not sell A/UX, why, they didn't even know who produces it! So I called a couple vendors like MacWarehouse etc, to see if they sell it or know who does, well, they didn't even know what it was, one asked me (after I asked if they sell AUX and what it was for) what the name of the product was. So it seemed that nobody knew. So here I am..... Can you buy A/UX from a vendor or strictly from Apple? How much? How much HD space is required (and suggested)? A phone number of a sales/technical person would be most beneficial. Thanks. MJW

Not just any Apple dealer, mind you, but a A/UX-certified Apple Dealer. Most apple dealers are not. I went to BusinessLand for my A/UX. I got more information from the net and other sources than from the dealer, but they *were* able to place and ship the order. Good luck. Ps. If you are going to be running A/UX 2.0, suggest you have at least 100Mb disk space. It almost completely fills an 80MB drive. If you are not going to be using an Apple-brand hard disk, check out 3rd party partitioning software such as LaCie's SilverLining. Most formatting software supplied with the average 3rd party hard disk doesn't have a clue how to partition for A/UX. Also, you should check out comp.unix.aux, while you're here. Good luck. Perseverance. It's worth it... -Ken Stamm
