- True, but this is _very_ different than the focus of the original question
- which was running Sys7 _under_ A/UX.

- I've never attempted to boot A/UX under 7.1 but I assume that it would
- boot fine. Once A/UX is booted, all "memories" of the MacOS used to boot
- it (with some minor exceptions) are forgotten.
