It's too small for practical use, and still you only need 2 megs to boot A/UX. 2) It's UNIX, right ? Buy as much disk as you can manage. APS has good prices on 300 meggers (and other drives...) for instance. 300 MB seems to be the minimum comfortable size if you want some swap, MacOS space, X windows, maybe news, and do serious development. RCS eats disk, too :-) -- Jon W{tte h+@nada.kth.se - Speed !
