If that's your definition of "working" then I've a number of software packages 
I could sell you... :-)

There is no SCSI Manager support in A/UX 2.0, so nothing that tries to drive 
its own SCSI devices using a Mac driver is going to work at all: this gets rid 
of all scanners, the SCSI-connected laserwriters, everything. 

Check the "A/UX Toolbox: Macintosh ROM Interface" section of the printed 
manual, particularly the subsection called "Inside A/UX Macintosh".

If anyone from Apple is listening: please can you put the summary part of the 
above-named section as an *online* manual page?
