There were some problems with the certain SuperMac video cards; unfortunately
yours was one of them.  Fortunately, you should be able to get a ROM upgrade
from SuperMac, which will allow A/UX 2.0 to work just fine.  Contact their
support hotline for more details.  If you continue to have problems, please
Email me and I will see what I can do for you.
