A trivial reason for non-support on the SE/30 that I can think of
would be that A/UX might not include a driver for the "classic Mac"
one bit-per-pixel, not too many pixels, screen. Ed, were you using
the SE/30's own screen, which I understand is still of the "classic Mac"
variety, or were you using something outboard? (Actually, I guess not,
as I don't think anybody yet has expansion cards for the SE/30's new (as
opposed to Nu) bus slot.)
By the way, talking of marketing reasons, the SE/30 will ship in Europe
with a 40 megabyte drive rather than 80. Anybody care to suggest a good
basis for that decision?
