Mike Chow (of Apple) brought up the issue of the Device Manager and A/UX.
DAs (which are a kind of device driver) are definitely supported under A/UX.

However, device drivers, those little goodies which like to touch and play
with hardware aren't, as well as any DAs that touch and play with hardware.

DAs yes -- entities that play with hardware, no.
