Spectrum 8/II <-> A/UX Incompatibility?

[Joel M. Miller]

About a week ago I complained that my SuperMac Spectrum 8 Series II
video board seemed to prevent A/UX from launching.  A few other readers
of this group thought this was possible, and some had related worries
about upgrades they were planning.

A call to SuperMac Tech Support (408-245-0646) confirmed that early
versions of the ROM would not support A/UX.  They sent me the "2.0
ROM upgrade" at no charge, I just installed it, and A/UX comes up fine!

If you contact SuperMac about this, be prepared to give the numbers
on the ROM (it's the big socketted DIP chip), so they can tell if
you have the old version.
