Do you have a Mouser BOM for these? Or at least, a recommendation for which size/type of cap to get?

I've updated the Github project with the link to the image: https://github.com/unxmaal/aux_sdcard/blob/master/README.md

Agreed.  I spent most of August fighting what turned out to be a bad 'dd' image. It seems that Quadra 950s are extremely picky about partition layouts and boot ordering. In some cases I've simply not been able to boot an image, no matter what.  This was the other reason for avoiding multiple...

If you have an idea of how to do that, please let me know. I was unable to get A/UX to see anything other than this 2 "drive" layout. 

We discussed dual-booting, and decided it made little sense to support both A/UX and another OS (or several), as the image is made to be written to an easily-swapped SD card.

As picky as A/UX is, I wouldn't.  Or do, and let us know if it works!

Here's a link to the project, with instructions: https://github.com/unxmaal/aux_sdcard I will PM the image URL as requested.

The first major barrier to experimentation with A/UX is obtaining compatible hardware. Once you have the hardware, the second has been the installation process, which is, frankly, burdensome and finicky. @pb3623 and I have been working on creating a "clean" A/UX installation that can be dd'd...

I gave up and used a SCSI2SD. I'll end up buying another dozen of them or so. RIP my wallet. :(

Nope, a single 5gb partition. Seems to work great, but we'll see.  Next is to mount it at /opt . I'm not clear on the differences between mtab and fstab. I'll change it in both places and see if it works. 

The answer is: nope. From what I can tell, A/UX can't "see" those volumes at all. I found a GUI Drive Setup utility in /mac/bin that worked. Destroyed the existing volume and HFS partitions, then partitioned 5GB for A/UX.

I suspected as much.  In that case how do I format them from within A/UX?  I'm not sure how to verify their device names, which I thought I needed for mkfs. 

How do I mount existing Mac-formatted volumes within A/UX? I have A/UX running on a SD card via SCSI2SD.  / is on /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 (from my memory, so may be wrong). Volumes for System 7 and 8, "Backups" and "Apps" show up on the A/UX desktop.  I'm running out of space on /.  I'd like to use...

As I posted in some other thread here, I have a Q950 bezel with the round button and a set of calipers.  https://imgur.com/a/HkpInXh I can make as many measurements as anyone needs, though I don't know CAD.
