The SE/30 was supported starting with A/UX version 1.1.1.  I've run that
version quite successfully.  I'm currently running A/UX 2.0, using an
Asante ethernet card for network access.  I'm quite happy with the
combination.

Yes, of course.  I use MacWrite II and MacDraw.  After Dark works.  I
don't know about Virex or Language Master; I don't have them.
