I run OS X 10.3 on my Beige G3 system - in terms of junk status equal
to any other Mac these days, but surprisingly quick. The point is, I
don't want to run 'a newer OS' or whatever; I have 3 modern Macs, and
countless others lurking about - I want the AWS95 specifically to run
A/UX because that's what it was designed to run. At the moment it's
trotting along happily with OS 7.5.5 and AppleShare 3 hooked up to my
IIgs.
