A/UX 1.1 will run on the SE/30, provided you have 4 megs of memory
and the disk space. Apple did not announce this compatibility
because one of the announced features of A/UX 1.1 was printing
over LocalTalk, and this feature doesn't work on the SE/30 since
no intelligent LocalTalk cards are available. When such a card
becomes available from a third party, A/UX may need an update
to support it.

A/UX 1.1 does support a lot more of the Mac toolbox than 1.0,
including color and printing. It does not support 100% of the
toolbox: in particular, low level, hardware specific code like
the SCSI Manager, the Time Manager, and the Serial driver are
not supported.

In order to find out more about A/UX compatibility, you should
read the "A/UX Toolbox: Macintosh ROM Reference" manual, which
is included with A/UX, and which will hopefully be available
from APDA someday soon. You should also read Technical Note #212,
which is available on sumex and from APDA.
