So would it be more accurate to say that machines introduced after A/UX 3.1.1 (which happens to include the AVs) are not supported? Anybody know of a post-3.1.1 machine that A/UX will boot on? The Q605 (with LC040 swapped out) was my next candidate, if I could locate one. I didn't look close enough to realize it wasn't supported either. > Yes, many LC slot ethernet cards have sockets.

I'll try to verify that it's working (the LC III has been in storage since I acquired it) but I'm definitely interested. > But since both > NetBSD's booter and > A/UX look for the OS in an A/UX root type partition, you'd > probably need > to keep NetBSD on a separate drive.

I suppose just having differently named kernels in the same partition wouldn't cut it, eh? :) Oh well it was a nice idea... > What was your solution with regards to the screen?

I nearly always ssh in, even when I'm in the same room...sometimes I forget that it would be faster to swivel my chair to the other desk and log in at the console. :) I'd LOVE to have reverse video working so this wouldn't be as much of a concern, though. If only I had the time to devote to it...
