The emulator Shoebill can run A/UX

It’s pretty awesome.
3.0 is the last version that is stable(ish). Naturally the MacOS
installer won’t run so a bunch of Unix legwork is required.
I’m not sure if this email will make the list but I’ll try....
Anyway the developer of Shoebill got snapped up by a certain fruit
vendor so no updates...
Guess that explains why he's not touched it since 2014. The
'emaculation'
github account[0] seems to be where the primary dev work on it is being
done
now, but seems to be slow going, the last commit was Sept 2019.
As for A/UX it’s SYSV with the c and fortran compilers
built in.
Apparently it was going to be Steve’s “Big Mac” project that was
sidelined after he was pushed out. Although there is so many crazy
rumours of that window at the end of Apple and the start of NeXT.
