Most likely because it tries to make use of the _SCSIDispatch selector,
which is not present on the A/UX 2.0(.1) system - no SCSI Manager support.

Tech Note #229, especially the new revised one, soon to open near your
cinema, is a good place to check for issues with Mac binaries that will
not work with A/UX.

BTW, I've had sleepless nights pondering about why I thought that the
_HFSDispatch was used to fake multiple monitors, I have a vague feeling
that it's _SCSIDispatch that someone had patched in order to create
multiple partitions (one way to do it), anyway sometimes you get
overflooded with information, and the brain can't build patterns
fast enough.
