  16. In one of the Mac Magazines I recently read a blanket
  17. statement to the effect that NONE of the current available
  18. third party 040 upgrade boards do support A/UX. They claimed
  19. that to do so would require writing different memory
  20. management routines for the onboard MMU and the vendors do
  21. not want to do this. It was explicitly stated that Radius
  22. has no plans to support A/UX in the near future (whatever
  23. that means). 
  24.  
  25. Does anybody have any more detailed info on that? 
  26.  
  27. I realize that you could run A/UX with the 040 disabled, but
  28. that is not what I have in mind.

  30. Cheers, Thomas
