To the best of my knowledge this is not true. Silverlining has
supported A/UX for quite some time. 32-Bit cleanliness is a
prerequisite for an A/UX-compatible hd driver.
 
Versions of the Silverlining app prior to 5.28 didn't work properly
under 7.0; no crashes or destructive behavior, just weirdness.
