    You can't make 800k disks (which is what System 6 and 7.0.1 are) using standard USB floppy drives. You will need to format the disks as 1440k disks, mount the disk images and transfers the contents.

    Newbie X11 question

    X11R5 rather than X11R6 is my understanding :) . MacX also behaves differently to the native AU/X X server. Clients are supposed to degrade gracefully if features or extensions aren't supported, however if a piece of FOSS has only ever been tested on a modern XServer it won't have tested those...

    Newbie X11 question

    Yes if it's an X11 browser, not Quartz. The MacOSX box would be doing all the HTTPS work. The AU/X box is acting purely as an X display. Yes, the MacX application runs as a Macintosh Application on A/UX.
