Yes.  But you will need a BIG disk (Apple's 160MB at minimum, if you want a
fair sized Unix partition and a fair sized MacOS partition)
>2. Can I use Hyper Card on A/UX.
Haven't tried it.

>3. Require evironment ( HD, MEMORY, I/O )
Minimum: 80MB HD, 2MB memory, 68030 or 68020+68851
If you want X-windows, etc, make that 4MB of memory, 120MB HD minimum.
(you can squeeze it on a 105, but it's tough)

>4. Can I run X Window applicatin which I made on UNIX SYSTEM under A/UX.
Not the binaries, but if you have the source you can recompile it.  You need
to buy X-windows from Apple or get the MIT distribution from somewhere.

>5. Can I make X Windows aplication under A/UX.
Yes.
