Well, this has been a fascinating discussion, but as a future owner of AU/X
(I get my mac II in two weeks or so), Would one of those in the know answer
this question? (ie, how can an AU/X application use a file (say a TEXT file)
created under the Mac OS (i.e., HFS)? How can a Mac OS application access a
file created under AU/X?)
I've heard that a disk can not be used for both AU/X (or is it A/UX? Hmm) and
HFS at the same time (obviously the same disk partition can't be - these are
different file systems); is this true? I really need to know what kind of
hard disk to buy with the Mac II! Do I need to buy two hard disks, one for
AU/X and one for HFS? Are certain brands of hard disks
recommended/discouraged? Whats the bottom line here?
With AU/X, can I use third party 19" color monitors? (I wouldn't want to
buy one such as the PCPC one only to find out AU/X can't access it.)
Finally, are any keyboards recommended/discouraged (I don't think so, but as
long as I'm asking I might as well be thorough)?
Please help me! I need to know real soon (i.e. before I finalize my Mac II
order)! My local dealers try to be helpful, but they are mostly ignorant of
AU/X, disks, monitor compatibility, etc. (no insult intended; they just
haven't been trained in these matters, which I suppose is Apple's fault.)
