I bought an Apple HD 80SC drive with A/UX 1.1 installed. When I connected
the drive to a Macintosh IIfx (with the special IIfx terminator), I
couldn't launch A/UX. However, other folders on the drive open fine. With
A/UX, I get error messages:

SCSI RESET
DISC C1D0S0:SCSI TIMEOUT
GENERIC DISC C1D0S0 FATAL ERROR:LOGICAL BLOCK 0,
PHYSICAL BLOCK 1869875042
CHROOT FAILED
SASH#

To run A/UX on the Macintosh IIfx, you must have A/UX 2.0 or any later
version. Version 1.1 gave you this particular error message, because it
doesn't know how to use the IIfx DMA SCSI scheme. If you want to use A/UX
on a IIfx, you must upgrade.
