I have a CMS 80 and I don't really know about A/UX but you have
to use a different driver with regular Mac software - the Apple
one won't work and I'm waiting for a ROM upgrade ( that I guess
I'll be paying for ) to take advantage of the Mac II speed. In
the meantime I'm running a disk set up for a Mac Plus (
apparently slow interleave ).

I don't know where to point finger(s)  ( dealer? CMS ?Apple? ) but I do
know that early CMS 80's like mine had a few problems working
correctly in a Mac II. I would be pretty leeeeery about running a
CMS 80 with A/UX untill I knew more.
