- Ah, but they did. In an Apple publication called "Macintosh Compatibility
- Chart" dated October 1992 (Publication number L0270LL/B) a matrix with operating
- system down the left hand side and Macintosh Model across the top has the
- box checked where A/UX 3.0 and Mac IIVX meet. I saw this with my own eyes.
- The chart was kind enough to supply an AppleLink address and a US Postal
- Service Address to ask questions. The AppleLink address is C.COMM. Internet
- people can send to C.COMM@applelink.apple.com.
-
- The postal address is
-
- Apple Computer
- Sales Communications
- 900 E. Hamilton Ave MS:73KJ
- Campbell, CA 95008
-
- This chart, along with the premiere issue of the Apple Catalog was sent
- to user groups.
-
- This is all I know. Please don't flame the messenger.
