Really? I still can use StuffIt Deluxe 3.0.7 on my 9.1 systems.

I'm itchy enough about the OldWorld hacks (especially with my precious 7300)
that I'm not willing to try OS X on my OldWorld Power Macs. Since I plan to
buy myself a top-o'-the-line Power Mac when I graduate from medical school,
I'll be using OS X eventually, but the 7300 will probably be my main machine
even then out of habit.

The way I configured A/UX on the IIci was to build two MacOS partitions;
one for A/UX's official MacPartition and then one when I want plain old
MacOS independent of A/UX. I also didn't bother with an Autorecovery
partition -- some people in the know have mentioned it rarely does the job
it was supposed to, and there's little it seems to do that fsck doesn't
(IMHO).

In what way?
