I have yet to get a straight answer, either.  I know of someone who said they
saw it running (A/UX 1.1) on an SE/30, but couldn't provide details.

While I'm sure both are fine products, I'm not terribly interested (enough to
make a purchase) in either A/UX on a Mac II or an SE/30 running the latest
System 6.X.X.  However, if I could get a definitive official response --
perhaps even an unofficial response, I'd start the wheels in motion to buy
an SE/30 & A/UX combo.

I think I'd even settle for a piece of paper that says "It won't work out of
the shrink-wrap, and it isn't supported, but this is what you can do to make
it run."

I suppose the last few feet up the mountain are the hardest...nice form-factor,
reasonable price/performance ratios, mainstream machine with a large support
base --- but will it run Unix???

Enlightment would be overwhelmingly appreciated...
