Essential Downloads for A/UX

Please note: These startup floppies are not DiskCopy images - They are raw disk images created with the Unix dd command, then compressed using gzip. You can recreate the floppies using "dd if=filename of=/dev/fd0" on your favorite Unix-based platform, although the name of your floppy drive (/dev/fd0) may vary. The A/UX 2.0 startup floppies are 800KB format, and must be created on a Macintosh.

A/UX 3.0.1 Startup/Installation Floppy for Quadra and Centris Systems

User-Contributions

Over the years, many people have contributed to the development of A/UX Penelope. All contributions, great and small, are truly appreciated. This section is my way of saying "thanks" to everyone who has contacted me regarding what I consider one of the coolest products ever developed. If you have anything you want to contribute to this page, or if I've missed anyone, please let me know!


John Kullmann - The Director of A/UX Product Development sent me a boxed-set of A/UX 3.01 with all the original documentation and media. The package contained two original copies of A/UX 3.0.1, and shrink-wrapped manuals. Wow!

Josh Burker - Source code and compiled binaries for SSH 1.2.32, Apache 1.3.34, Perl 5.005_04, and top 3.3. The binaries were compiled on A/UX 3.1.1 using gcc 2.7.2 and gmake 3.7.9. These packages (also listed above) contain the information required to build your own binaries... Very useful info if you're trying to compile other software for A/UX!

Anonymous Apple Engineer - I received a phone call from one of the original Unix Engineers of the A/UX Development team. The gentleman was the manager of the MacX project, helped to build the regular X server for A/UX, participated in the development of A/UX from version 1.0 to the final release, and was responsible for Macintosh Application Environment - A Macintosh emulator for Solaris and HP-UX. While he wished to remain anonymous, I want to say what an honour it was to receive his call.
