Developers can get beta test copies of Apple Computer’s Unix workalike operating system if they have Winchester disks from Jasmine Technologies of San Francisco, California. To date Jasmine 80 disks are the only way that the product has been getting out because Apple’s own 80Mb drive is not ready yet. Developers have been sending the Jasmine hard drives to Apple and getting back A/UX and its 3,000 pages of documentation on the hard drive. The developer also has to have a Mac II, 4Mb of RAM, and a 68851 Paged Memory Management Unit to do anything with it, but Apple has been helping selected strategic developers obtain this configuration.
