I have just received a MacII with A/UX. I was under the impression
that I would be able to launch MacOS applications under A/UX (if they
were civilized enough), and access/copy MacOS files from one file
system to another. In particular, this would be useful when the Mac is
connected to an ethernet, and running NFS, making backups so much
easier (just tar MacOS files to tape).

However, when I run A/UX it does not seem to recognize my MacOS disks
and partitions. The former I can understand - my Jasmine is pre-A/UX
and probably does not have the right drivers, but the latter mystifies
me. At least I would expect to be able to access the MacOS partition
of the A/UX distribution disk. No such luck so far.

Any pointers, help, etc?
