I used Mach10 and Later MkLinux as my UNIXy systems while in College before I got my first
Sun Workstation in the mid ’90’s.
Interestingly enough. MkLinux was actually ported to Old World PowerMacs by Apple and HP.
I think they also made.a version PCs too.
And Mach10 was interesting. Different. I also had Minix for the Mac, it worked much the
same, as an app that sat onto of MacOS.

ISTR that A/UX was nothing special as a Unix. Am I failing to remember?
I had had a DMD 5620 at my job, and after I moved to a different place
and requested one, they graced me with a Macintosh. It could sort of
do multiple windows, but it was like having a piper cub after being
used to a 747.
Other interesting bits for the Mac to maybe recover would be Mach Ten,
which ran Mach on top of regular MacOS. (Talk about inverted pyramids...)
There was also a Mach/Linux that I think ran on the Mac at some point.

As far as I've been able to find, there is only one emulator that can

I've got a Mac Quadra 950 with a Workgroup Server 95 card in it in the
garage that I've been planning on someday trying to get A/UX running on,
but haven't found enough round tuits.
Maybe if someone could rip the 680[34]0+MMU bits out of Win/FS-UAE
(Amiga emulator) and patch them into Basilisk II (Mac 68K emulator),
A/UX might work there.

I think I've seen articles about people running it running
virtualization / emulation.
