There does not seem to exist online any disk images of Apple’s A/UX 1.1 or 1.1.1 for installing the OS. There is a 1.1.1 ISO on MacintoshRepository but it cannot be used to install a fresh system.
What is really needed is the first few disks, imaged and uploaded.
Specifically:
des encyrption
launch
floppy root
sash utils
stand alone shell
system checker
system setup
tape backup
Asking again since it’s been a while. A complete set of disks and binders was sold on eBay earlier this year. The disk images have never been uploaded. Another set of floppies were sold a month ago, and it went on auction for $1425 USD. Beyond belief, the seller didn’t list or photo what disks were included and it still went that high.
I was not the purchaser but I’ve been working with the gentleman that bought them, and he’s missing some disks, and others are unreadable. He’s been trying to recover the unreadable ones professionally, and also trying to figure out what files are on what missing disks. We’re close.
The biggest hurdle at the moment is “Floppy Root”. The rest of the missing or damaged disks cannot be tried until Floppy Root is replaced.
Looking for anyone who might have these or have a link that somehow doesn’t seem to come up in Google searches for 1.1 or 1.1.1 media.
