World A/UX System Count

less than 20 A/UX systems extant, including his and mine (both
pirated, of course). Can someone please corroborate?

I'm using it randomly. And my A/UX is not pirated, of course.

Me too. But i don't do real work with it.

Mine is.
Probably the last A/UX Box in the Network: wiskit.com
Runs also NCSA/1.4.1 :).
I guess it's totally safe to run that box since all crackers able
to break in died with the dinosaurs.

Well I have two A/UX systems at home. One fully legal (including
the full documentation kit in 20 odd folders) and the other is a
"clone" of the first. The two systems are a IIcx and an SE/30.
All up I paid around $10K for the IIcx with additional memory,
ethernet, 300MB SCSI disk and A3 display. I guess this is one
of the main reasons I haven't thrown it out.....
.signature still on that backup tape somewhere

What kind of applications did you run on this machine?

It was my first Unix workstation so it was set up for me to understand
how Unix worked (I was coming from a VMS and TOPS-10 background) as well
as understanding X11.
I suspect for a lot of it's working life it ran lots of xterms allowing
me to log into the various systems I managed.

Well, since about a decade I have an AWS95 running A/UX 3.1.1 at work,
and it
is still used for tasks like font format conversion between Mac and the
rest
of the world.

I have 2 A/UX systems here , one running A/UX 1.1.1 and one running 3.1.
Both come from original media.

I have none running here, but I do have three WGS 95s; one original media and
manual set for a pre-3.1 release of A/UX; and 3.0 and 3.1 media from a certain
backup site.
Also five ANS 700/200s, one of which was downgraded to a 500/200 in order to
steal its (hot pluggable) power supply so that the others could all have dual
PSUs. One has gen-u-wine AIX. The others are clones.
(Some ANS accessories still available here in Silly-cone Valley ... drive trays
for real cheap, when available ... but most accessories are being scrapped as I
write this).

What? Where? How much? :)
I'm searching RAM und drive trays for my 700/150.

RAM is just parity FPM on these machines. 60 ns. Usually not available from the
iquidator/crusher as these will work in pre-G3 Macs. Always IBM brand, in my
experience, and usually 8 MB or 16 MB. (48 MB is a standard ANS configuration,
with 2x16 MB and 2x8 MB DIMMs).
(I have found some 128 MB non-parity sticks which will work in ANSes, but very
few will work, and they are mostly earlier productions runs. Later 128 MB
production runs will not run in ANSes at all. Still, an ANS can only support
512 MB).
The liquidator/crusher gets ANSes infrequently.
Availability is March through October, at some of the usual Silicon Valley
electronics flea markets. The seller has no phone number or address, and I have
to give him a "want list" and then hope he finds what I'm asking for in his
inventory, for delivery the next month. So far, I have gotten enough 68-pin
drive trays to completely populate five machines, and numerous miscellaneous
parts, such as LCD displays and internal cables, all for spares. Also power
supplies.
Drive trays are about $10. Sometimes less, especially when he has a lot of them
to scrap.
Some mechanical parts are available from time-to-time, such as bases and those
transluscent drive bay covers. Also wheels, which often wear funny if the axle
isn't lubed, or isn't inserted in the base squarely.

3.0.1 from my now stored in the loft and downloaded updater to 3.1.
Nice system to work with only really installed it again to play with
the original Mac/UNIX mix.

I've got a IIci with a Daystar 50MHz 030 running 3.1. It also dual-boots
into plain-jane System 7.1 as well.

I've got a WGS95 running A/UX 3.1. It hasn;t been turned on in a
while, so it's up to you whether to count that as "extant.
I'd like to know if there are any truly "running" systems out there,
as in "in production" and critical to some business purpose. Maybe in
a military function somewhere?

WGS95 here with original media 3.01 and 3.1 upgrade. I use mine just to
backup files on my 68k Mac network using retrospect that came with A/UX (on
a DDS2 SONY DAT). Was there much software made that targeted A/UX
specifically?

wiskit.com uses A/UX for Web (www.wiskit.com) and Mail.

Cameron, I'm starting to believe you run every Unix known to Mac-kind.
;)
I'll increase the world system count by one as soon as I can get a 68882
for my IIsi.

Surprisingly, I don't run Linux on my Macs. I much prefer BSD, but I don't
want to start a Linux vs BSD war here because BSD would win. *narf narf narf*
On that same IIci, I have MacMiNT installed too. That's surprisingly
functional; I just wish MacMiNT supported TCP/IP (I guess jet doesn't know
how to translate to MacTCP).
In fact, between AIX, Mac OS X, NetBSD, MiNT and A/UX, I think the only Mac
Unix I'm missing other than some form of Linux is MachTen.

Heh, I forgot that AIX could run on some Macs. My count of Unix flavor
installations will be 5 as soon as I get the FPU for the A/UX on the
IIsi, 4 of them Macs. (I have an SGI I don't do much with.) I should
get AIX and OpenBSD on some Macs too I suppose???

No Mac can run AIX.
There's only one Apple (the Apple Network Server 500/700) which runs AIX
- but this is not a Macintosh.

There's no AIX for Macs. Try NetBSD and Debian GNU/Linux, perhaps Minix
and Mach Ten.

Now you're arguing semantics. You may be technically correct, but the
distinction isn't all that important to me.
