The last release of apple A/UX was 3.1 that came with my AWS95 machine, before that there was A/UX 2.0 for the IIfx and other machines in that era. What I want to know is was A/UX 1.0 ever released and what systems/requirements did it need to run? Until recently there was very little information on A/UX 2.0 on the web and I still havnt seen anything on 1.0 at all (3.0 is well documented).
If it does exists its probably 14+ years old.
Yet another follow-up:
Another relevant aspect of my search is any device that would go into a
low-power (or sleep) mode and then activate upon receiving data over a
network link. So for example, a printer with a print server that sits
on a network and stays in an energy saving or low power mode when it's not
doing anything but then fires up to print a document when it gets a
request. Something like that. I would need documentation explicitly
describing this sort of action. I would imagine there is something
relevant with network cards that have some sort of power-on feature when
network activity is sensed.
This would have to be prior to 1994.
Solid leads that I can use will be rewarded appropriately.
Thanks!

Dear Sir,
I am seeking a place to sell my fathers IBM's manuals and repair books. They have everything needed and mainly for mainframes, which seem to be the older models or larger computers, so it appears. If you have any idea of places, I would be thankful. I know my dad would not like to see them trashed, and they would help to cover his bills. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Paul
well, since the major questions have been answered, here is my two cent's
worth. Yes, most of the startup stuff is in either SYS$MANGER or SYS$SYSTEM,
but at least on the systems I run (5.x and 6.x) the best logical is
SYS$STARTUP, as it appears that just sometimes things get put in SYS$SPECIFIC
and sometimes in SYS$COMMON, and if you always use SYS$STARTUP, then the
logical path to search will always be the same.
Of course, you may not want to learn too much of this if you are going to
the "other" operating system.

Thanks to Mr. Finnegan - I have a nice VAXstation 3100 Mod 38 running
Hobbyist VMS V7.2 - sitting here whirring away. As I observed to him -
it's interesting to have a DEC machine in my collection that weighs *less*
than I do.
So now my untutored Quesions am:
Can this be done:
VAXstation --> Ethernet -->[???]<-- Ethernet <-- cablemodem <-- the Net.
What adapts Thin Ethernet coax to Cat5?
More specifically to download/install freeBSD perhaps...
And, furthermore: MY VMS experience was sketchy at best, mostly
desultory playing with a uVAX II that Hans now has - and I have no doc at
all right now.
What is the system called that VMS uses to chain all the DCL commands to
auto-execute at startup? I wanna edit a lot of them out - especially
right now it's looking for a cluster it can't find, and periodically
(every 15 mins) complains of "too few servers".
Thirdly/finally: Anyone got a VMS Grey Wall they'd like to unload cheap?
I'll pay for the books, packing and shipping to zip 89706 (Carson City,
NV).
Cheers!
John
Hi folks,
Does anyone know how uncommon the MicroVAX I is these days? Someone's got
one for me (as well as a Tangerine Microtan 65 :o))
500 mile round trip though....meh.....
cheers!

I thought I had those, but I could not find them. I can look again, but
let me know if they are 3.5 or 5.25 inches, it will cut down my search
a bit.

Thanks all who have given me so very much Good Information - hours of fun!
It's a good thing that I had a bit of prior VMS exposure... of course
the thing that becomes apparent is that I'd like to get some actual
programs running, as opposed to just mucking about with the OS, however I
enjoy that too...
I'll figure the Ethernet connections out - and since there is a
functioning telnet client that I've already run... I'll get NetBSD or some
flavor of some *ix....
Also I downloaded all the pinouts and cable connections, so I'll also have
to get a graphics monitor attached - after I see if I've actually got a
card of some kind installed...
Thanks again to all, and I'm sure there will be a few more [(few)exp10]
questions but I seem to be in the right place for that...
Cheers
John
Hi Guys:
I got RSTS/E v9.2-10 up and running under emulation,
anybody out there have 'associated layered products'?
FORTRAN and PASCAL would be nice, for starters . . .
