-
- Let's face it. A/UX is a small segment of the Mac market, which is already
- way smaller than the x86 market. But this doesn't mean we have to just sit
- and take it.
-
- Let's get together a list of vendors who are making life difficult for A/UX
- customers to upgrade to 3.0. Let's put it in the FAQ.
-
- We had an E-Machines TX-24 card in our IIfx running A/UX 2, and when we
- tried upgrading to 3.0... boom! We called and were told that no 3.0
- compatible driver exists, nor is one planned. They recommended we upgrade
- to one of their newer cards. And what will they be saying the next time?
