?? on Hard/Tape drives with A/UX and other misc. ??

I have a few questions I hope to have answered regarding A/UX.  It is
to be eventually used on a IIci.  

Does anyone know which hard drives (from 80meg and up) are not compatible
with A/UX? I seem to recall some mention of this in past postings.  What
drives would you recommend for use with A/UX?

As for tape drives for archival purposes, does all the current drives
with various tape drive formats eg. TEAC DC600,DC200 etc. work with
A/UX when attached to a IIci?  If not, what are the tape drives that
will work with both A/UX and MacOS?

In general, are all SCSI devices accessible by MacOS also accessible
by A/UX?

How much disk memory does A/UX, GNU-emacs, gcc, X11 each require 
individually? Will GNU and X work on with A/UX or a hacked version
required?  Is a C compiler packaged with A/UX ?

I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on the above
queries.  I have a feeling that not all peripherals attached
to a Mac are equal where MacOS and A/UX are concerned.  I hope
to also discover the reason behind the incompatibilities.  Guidance
to more literature regarding A/UX would be helpful.

Thanks in advance to those who are kind enough to respond.  Please
mail directly to ctan at aludra.usc.edu.
