Incredible! I read in many places and got confirmations when I tried it
myself: A/UX disables any hw aceleration on the graphic boards. On my IIsi
even 256 color is slower than macOS.

A/UX is mutli-task no acceleration. So if our X serevr is slower than
theirs, we are wrong :)

My MacIIsi is currently running A/UX for the same reason. It supports this
wonderful card while no other OS does.
ALso a/ux is wonderfully small, has a compielr which is better than gcc
(under some aspects, like error reports and code quality)... basic,
snobol... what do you want more?
