Hello
Has anyone ever tried running Apple Unix, A/UX, under Basilisk II? Is it possible?
I read that A/UX is very particular about hardware identifiers, and that this is an issue when attempting to run it in an emulator. But it would be sooo nice to run under Basilisk.

Re: A/UX under Basilisk II ?
This was an older attempt at an A/UX emulator:

Perhaps QEMU can do it?? If anyone knows the answer, they'll certainly post it here.

BasiliskII will indeed not run A/UX.
But your can always take a look at our guide which seems to be ready before an actual Qemu build is available

A little bit of patience is still required.

Re: A/UX under Basilisk II ?
Indeed; the options currently are Shoebill and the unreleased version of qemu-system-m68k. Since the upcoming qemu variant only emulates the Quadra 800, it will only run A/UX 3.x. Shoebill emulates a Mac II-ish, so will also run A/UX 1.1.1 and up (but won't reliably run 3.1.1).
[edit] nice to see the softfloat rounding is fixed and any instruction tracing so we've got NetBSD support too! Looking forward to the upcoming commits and test builds
