Where can i get A/UX?

Author	Topic
maclover5 LC Doctor/Hot Rodder Australia 5830 Posts	Posted - 16 Apr 2003 : 06:52:06 I've just spent ages looking for a place to d/l A/UX. The old links don't work, and the firewall i am behind has blocked all P2P programs. Can someone please help if they know of a reliable download? I want to get A/UX before i go home, so that i can get it on the fast 'net connection!

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 21 Apr 2003 : 21:35:41 hey some penguin around here has an AFP server running you might be able to get A/UX from that if his OSs are on AFP also. I'd say that you need to do this when your 1400 or other burning mac is at UNI though... and LATE AT NIGHT for him Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide

muzhok New Member Germany 91 Posts	Posted - 29 Apr 2003 : 03:28:11 Try ftp://alge.anart.no/pub/AUX/ It is a very fast server. I haven't been able to get the boot disk file on a floppy though. I keep getting the message that the file is just a few Kb too big. Any ideas? muzhok p.s. waiting for a Quadra 950 Server that I bought on the e-bay for 17 euros (19$)and that is including shipping! Had to boast! Hope the box works. I am hoping to make it my AUX box.
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 29 Apr 2003 : 06:30:08 I have the floppy disk image somewhere if maybe ML5 or Muzhok you want it and can wait for me to find my junk with all and the glayen. Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide
muzhok New Member Germany 91 Posts	Posted - 29 Apr 2003 : 06:58:21 Thanks Cory! No rush however. I will wait till the Quadra arrives and see if I can figure out how to get the boot file to fit on the floppy from the download. Can anyone tell me though if AUX boxes are multiple boot capable using more than one hard disk? I mean, if I insert an additional HD with, say, OS 7.5, files, and programs on it and then mount it within AUX, will I have the choice of which system to boot from? After all, the Quadra 950 can accomodate 5 HD and I have quite a few (small ones) lying around that I got from broken macs. I have read the A/UX FAQ page and also the installation page at http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/os/aux/ but it seems that in this case they talk about setting up a MacOS partition from scratch on the same HD as A/UX. As the Quadra won't be here for at least a week, I have got time to look up more info (and figure out what to do about the floppy). liberated from trash: IIsi, lc, performa 475 (smoked and missing VRAM) bought on ebay: lc and Quadra 950
Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 29 Apr 2003 : 12:20:34 I'm going to get A/UX (have 3.0 and 3.1 update cd's) running on my Q950 with server pds card addon this week or next week. I also have a 8gb external HD I might setup as storage for a hotline server on this machine if anybody is interested. I might have the a/ux boot floppies around somewhere if you guys need them (I have an 8x cdrom in the 950 so I boot from that) Where can I find pdf's of a/ux 3.0 or 3.1 manuals?
muzhok New Member Germany 91 Posts	Posted - 29 Apr 2003 : 13:40:34 Hello Unknown_K! I haven't found any pdf manuals, but here are the sites I am reading in preparation of my install. http://nick.backpack.net/greataux/articles.html http://www.geo.tu-freiberg.de/docs/apple/aux/ http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/os/aux/ http://www.nleymann.com/appleAUX/index.htm Hope this helps. BTW, the bootdisk image on the tu-freiberg site is smaller than the one on the ftp://alge.anart.no/pub/AUX/ site. I wonder why?

cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 06:35:43 I wonder if we called/eMailed Apple... Maybe they still sell A/UX or something.... aparently they still... ahem... "sell" system 7.6 Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide
Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 13:07:01 Before I get my A/UX project started I want to know if the OS allows apple software and drivers to work with addon cards or do I need A/ux drivers? I just want to know id the software from my Thunder 24 video card and my spigot capture card will still work. The apple os in A/ux is 7.1 correct?
cory5412 68KMLA Comrade-in-Arms USA 4679 Posts	Posted - 02 May 2003 : 15:20:41 the A/UX OS is 7.0.1 but you can have personal system folders for each user and/or upgrade any/all of these up to 8.1 I like this because with individual system folders... each user gets their own preferrences and etc etc. As far as video cards go... look at the system folders thing... "if you can put it ina system folder, it'll work" I believe though that there was a few accelerated apple video cards that weren't supported though. Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide

However, if you want to buy QTVR Authoring Studio, make sure that first you install 16 megabytes of RAM and install System 7.5. -------------------------- Give your dreams a chance.™ - Apple in the mid '90s Warrior maclover5 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Number of 68ks Liberated: 7 Number of Contraband (PPC) Liberated from the Dumpster: 1
