Yes, X.10 exists for the Mac II under A/UX.  Some guys at Berkeley
have do a first cut port of X.  Warning: It is really slow and quite a
resource hog.  You don't want to run it with less that 5mb or RAM.
Then again, A/UX would like about that much memory for itself.
(Remember when v7 ran happilly in nothing?)  I believe there are plans
to do a X.11 prot, and to localize the port to the Nac II hardware,
i.e. use the toolbox for graphics.  I haven't heard yet how this is
coming.  I expect that OSU will do it if no one else gets around to it
in the next few months.

Cheers,
Mark
