Well its a Q800 in a IIvx Case..............dont know what else to say really.

Has 52mb RAM, and A/UX on the HD.

That's way cool!

The A/UX is bone stock. Version 3. Also, even with UNIX, old macs besides the IIfx lag on formatting floppies

No DMA. Floppy interface heavily software dependent.

Q900 and 950 also don't lag. It has nothing to do with the CPU, its because the floppy drive is run off the IOPs.

Cool thing!

I had a IIVX too but was dissapointed of the crippled mainboard.

.Installed Debian linux 3.0? in text mode.I saw a Q800 in a Q700 case that looked nice, too at applefritter.
