Require evironment ( HD, MEMORY, I/O ) Minimum: 80MB HD, 2MB memory, 68030 or 68020+68851 If you want X-windows, etc, make that 4MB of memory, 120MB HD minimum. (you can squeeze it on a 105, but it's tough) >4. Can I run X Window applicatin which I made on UNIX SYSTEM under A/UX. Not the binaries, but if you have the source you can recompile it. You need to buy X-windows from Apple or get the MIT distribution from somewhere. >5. Can I make X Windows aplication under A/UX. Yes. -- Matthew T.
