- At present, A/UX doesn't work with the Rocket. Daystar claims "100%"
- compatibility with their 040 board, and they are usually very good as far
- as A/UX support is concerned. I have no idea if they (the Daystar boards)
- work under A/UX though...

-
- A/UX doesn't support the acceleration aspects of the board. It appears to
- work with some Macs (read non-Quadra) in the unaccelerated mode.
