  I seem to remember hearing somewhere that you can run A/UX on an SE/30 if
it weren't for the fact that the people who wrote it hard-coded the screen
size & font size for the "window-CLI", so running it on an SE/30 the window is
too big and the font is too big to give you any resonable amount of information
on the screen.

  There could be other reasons, but they escape me right at this moment. I
also seem to remember hearing that there might be a new version that fixes
all of this so that an SE/30 can run A/UX, but it might be wishful thinking
on my part.

  Hope this helps.
