Can anyone confirm officially that TOPS 3.0 will not work with A/UX 2 ???

If this is not the case can anyone suggest how to get the two working in
harmony with each other ???

Another point...my A/UX is running on a MacIIfx with 4MB of RAM. I have ordered
another 4x4MB simms which I hope to see in about 2-3 weeks. Until then, is it
possible to take advantage of the virtual memory capabilities of the IIfx, which
I fully expect exist ???  Currntly the machine is pretty slow with a hell of a
lot of disk activity. When I try to run MacX or X11...well its simply not
practical even for a IIfx. Surely it must be possible to trick A/UX into
thinking that theres more memory available than is physically installed.

NOTE: I'm sure this information could be dug out of the correct documentation
but unfortunately Apple are experiencing delivery problems in this country
at the moment and I do not expect to see the 'A/UX documentation' bundle
for another few weeks yet.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
