Hello MaX fans! A friend is giving me his copy of A/UX, so I'm in for some more retro computing! I have a couple questions, though.
1) Can one just add the 68882 to '030 machines, or upgrade LC040 to full '040, and run A/UX on "unsupported" machines? Background: Finding a machine to run A/UX on is tough. I only keep Macs I have specific uses for, because otherwise my wife would kick me into the garage to live with them. :D So my only 68k Macs are IIsi, LC III, Q840AV. A/UX doesn't support AV models (bummer!), so the Quadra is completely out. Of the others, both lack FPU, which A/UX needs. I know IIsi ethernet cards exist which can add an FPU, but the LC III is better (smaller, faster). Are there any LC NICs which have a FPU socket? (I think I have a LC NIC, but I don't remember it having a FPU socket.) If so, I'll look for one. I'd rather not drag another 68k machine home, for the reason given above, especially since they are all physically bigger than the two I have. 2) Can I set up one machine with both A/UX and NetBSD on the disk and have it boot correctly? Can the two share /home and swap partitions? Background: I lied, I do have an SE/30 also. But it's already set up nicely to run NetBSD, which I am quite happy with. I'd hate to backup everything and reformat it for an experiment, since it is my main file/web server at home. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions!
