| A/UX 2 on a IIfx |
Posted by: Unknown_K on 2010-05-27 21:09:46
Anyone have A/UX 2 running on a IIfx? I was browsing ebay auctions the other day and noticed somebody sold a IIfx with the WGS 95 version of A/UX 3.x installed (went for $400!). It got me thinking about running A/UX 2.x on a IIfx (the version designed for the IIfx).

I was running 2.0 on a IIx (I'm still looking for a IIfx...) for a while. Sadly during the A/UX days the FSF was boycotting Apple so most of their software from the time doesn't build out of the box. What software is available is for 3.x so I decided to go with 3.1 even though it isn't recommended for anything less than an 040. It runs OK, I usually end up using it remotely.

How long ago was that?

I was using 2.0 a couple months ago (3-4 maybe), the IIx is still up and running 3.1 now:
