   Do Magneto-Optical disks work with A/UX 2.0 ?

They seem to... At least the disk in the Microtech OR650 can be
mounted as an A/UX file system, so it has to be workin?

The only problem I had was not having a MO disk which was sectored as
512 bytes per sector. But after I swapped the 1024 b/s disk for a 512 b/s
disk, it was all systems go. Even dp was able to partition the disk ;)

Will A/UX support disks sectored as 512 bytes per sector?

   Do they need a special driver ?

Well, if you'd like to mount the HFS volume, the you _might_ need an
INIT of some sort, and the INIT usually comes with the drive.
