A/ux

[macidiot]

I have only recently heard about A/UX, an old apple implementation of UNIX around the system 5-7 days... I don't really know a lot about it, but I have several old macs and I would like to check A/UX out. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of it?

I had a copy of it I found some where, I'll see if I still have it. I never got around to installing it though.

I'm very interested too on that UNIX ...
If you find the copy, please let me know, I have 4 old Mac that could be turned on with that OS.

Very Thanks_

Cheryl, I think some of your links have been censored.

THis forum has had quite a lot of discussion on A/UX, so there is no shortage of information for those doing a search. I posted a link almost two years ago to the images of A/UX... I'll post them again for those who haven't found them.

Note: These links are for owners of A/UX who have lost their original copies and need replacements. A/UX has not been released by Apple and (thanks to SCO) most likely will never be released as freeware.

I'm sure all of us fall into that catagory. If you don't, please don't use these links.

  A/UX 3.0.1 (toast image) (123.5 MB)
  A/UX 3.0.1 install floppy image (1.4 MB)
  A/UX 3.1 (toast image) (14.0 MB)

Known systems that run A/UX-

• 
  Macintosh IIx
  Macintosh IIcx
  Macintosh IIfx
  Macintosh IIci
  Macintosh SE/30
  Macintosh Quadra 700
  Macintosh Quadra 900
  Macintosh Quadra 950
  Macintosh Quadra 800

There may be others, but the minimum requirements are a MC68030 w/FPU (either the MC68881 or MC68882) or a MC68040 (not the MC68LC040), 8 MB of RAM and an 80 MB hard drive (to use all of it's features, 160 should be the lower limit).

My Quadra 700 running A/UX has 24 MB of RAM and a 500 MB hard drive, and it seems to run A/UX without any problems. I've been thinking about putting my Quadra 900 back together to run it, but I used the video RAM from it in my Quadra 950 which is still an important part of my work flow.
