what is a A/UX System Drive, and do I want it? (OS 7.6)
Posted by: mraroid on 2017-05-22 06:32:43
Hi...

I am trying to format a SCSI to CF card. I want to use this in a system running 7.6. 

I can choose:

1) Multiple Mac Volumes

2) A/UX 1.0 System Drive 1 Mac OS volume

3) A/UX 1.0 Data Drive

4) A/UX 2.0 System Drive 1 Mac OS volume

5) A/UX 2.0 Data Drive

Can someone suggest which option to choose?

Thanks

Multiple Mac volumes. You don't want A/UX [😛] ]'>.

Then set up the multiple mac volumes into 2GiB (2048MiB) each. If you want to install NetBSD later, make sure you leave some unpartitioned space on your CF card (maybe 4-10GiB for NetBSD?) Again, only leave the space behind if you know you are going to be using NetBSD, otherwise, it's a waste. Keep in mind if you do install NetBSD, that it requires a full 040, not LC040.
