You have to go to an Apple certified dealer.
Not just any Apple dealer, mind you, but a A/UX-certified Apple Dealer.
Most apple dealers are not.  I went to BusinessLand for my A/UX.
I got more information from the net and other sources than from
the dealer, but they *were* able to place and ship the order.

Good luck.

Ps. If you are going to be running A/UX 2.0, suggest you have at least
100Mb disk space.  It almost completely fills an 80MB drive.

If you are not going to be using an Apple-brand hard disk, check out
3rd party partitioning software such as LaCie's SilverLining.
Most formatting software supplied with the average 3rd party hard disk
doesn't have a clue how to partition for A/UX.

Also, you should check out comp.unix.aux, while you're here.

Good luck.  Perseverance.  It's worth it...
