My goal is a Quadra 610/650/800.  I'd take a Centris, too, if it has the 
full '040 and onboard ethernet.  Those desktop models are nice because 
you can stack them, and save space - which is a concern when you have 
"too much computer junk" already.  A Q800 is the pinnacle for A/UX, so 
if I found one locally, I'd make the room for it.  :)  For what little I 
did with A/UX I was mostly happy with my IIsi, but it's dead, and I do 
feel the loss.

Well, we still have an AWS95 running A/UX 3.1.1, and we use it mainly for
font conversion between MacOS <= 9 and UNIX, as A/UX provides a bunch of means
to handle MacOS resource forks in as UNIX environment. Rebuilding the
utilites we use with this repsect on a basis of, e.g. Linux and NetaTalk
would be a major task - maintaining our A/UX is (still) cheaper.

it. Basilisk does not fully emulate a Mac, but couldn't we fix that?
Brad,
some of the posters here are also on the applefritter site. Tom Owad from
applefritter posted this FAQ in regards to A/UX:
"Q: Can I run A/UX on an emulator?
A: If anyone ever writes a cycle-accurate emulator which *exactly*
duplicates the hardware in a supported Macintosh model, then yes. However,
all the currently available Mac emulators, including BasiliskII, Fusion, and
Softmac, don't emulate a complete set of Macintosh hardware. Instead, they
take advantage of the ROMcentric nature of MacOS and simply patch the
Toolbox ROM to 'fake' most hardware devices. That simplifies the emulator,
and lets it run much faster then a full emulation of a MacII would, but it
also means there is *zero* chance of A/UX running on it."

Matt Fredette's TME sun[23] machine emulator could be interesting here:
        <url>
Matt is the portmaster of NetBSD/sun2, and his emulator is used by
NetBSD developers who do not have access to m68k SUN hardware. The jump
from a sun3/150 to, say, a Macintosh SE/30 shouldn't be too big.

Hurrah, I've got an A/UX-capable machine again!  And it's a step up from 
my old one.
Now I just need to find time to set it up....
