----------
What about those of us who chose to buy 160MB discs (almost everyones 160MB
drives are cheeper that Apples 80MB drive anyway :-).  We now are being 
told we MUST buy the drives we previously refused to (after all, they were 
overpriced and slow), if we want to get A/UX.  Someone from Apple posted a 
response somewhere around here telling us that "The Apple tape drive is NOT
CURRENTLY SUPPORTED UNDER A/UX".  Tells me I don't have much choice, so my
choice is gonna be to buy someone elses UNIX box, and use my MacII to run
"BetaWare" like Fullwrite (:-).
