I have a IIfx also just never tried A/UX on it, if you gets yours running let me know how well it works. So far I havnt been able to get my Mac OS running 68k macs to move more then 500KB/sec through any of the nubus network cards I have. Is 500KB/Sec about what your getting? -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
