| A/UX and ZuluSCSI: a note for future searchers | |
| Posted by: cheesestraws on 2022-09-19 12:11:36 A/UX 3.0.1 installs from a ZuluSCSI fine and easily, no need to muck about with optical media. I just did this on a Q650 today.

This requires far less mucking about than installing from a scsi2sd, IME. | |

Unfortunately, to no avail. Firstly: I do not have a working floppy drive, so I tried to go around that by using Basilisk and creating disk images. Unfortunately, a disk...
