jrsdead Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Rhapsody seems to be getting a bit more attention about here recently so i was wondering what you all think and know about A/UX. Has anyone out there any experience using this early version of a cross between UNIX and Mac OS? What machines can it run on? Can it be ran in an emulator (i dont think it can neeeding specific M68k hardware features) if so what ROM and where to find it (the ROM)? jrsdead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Guru Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Well I have used a Macintosh SE/30 with System 7.0 and I used A/UX and I think it is interesting. However I think the Mach kernel in Rhapsody is by far more useful (in my humble opinion). By the way, sweet avatar there pal! Guru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Guru Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Sure dude! Try it sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwer Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Sure dude! Try it sometime! All the pitfalls you will encounter are listed on this great site. Wish it had been around when I was mucking about with a/ux years ago. Burn all cds at 1.0x speed and use a genuine 1x apple cd drive <grin> http://www.aux-penelope.com/hardware.htm //R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paquito Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Nope, this is a no-show on an emulator. If you'd want to take this for a ride, a Quadra is a safe bet. Anyway, to those interested, I've seeded this 'somewhere' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriX Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes, I've tried this on three 68k emulators, and it hasn't worked on any of them, with different problems each time. A/UX is cool though... @ Paquito - Call it "the green demon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtoink Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 The primary issue with it not working with an emulator is that it needs the math co-processor and those aren't emulated from what I remember. I actually had a system that AU/X should have run on, but I couldn't get the damn CDROM to boot. I have a feeling that it was about dead, though. I still have all the images and stuff for AU/X, but I never finished the prject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
