- Successfully emulated and ran A/UX 3.1.1 on Snow, an emulator for vintage Macintosh systems.
- Obtained and archived A/UX 1.1 installation media (34 floppy images) from Dominic Sharp, addressing compatibility issues with Snow's emulation.
- Implemented support for the Macintosh II video card (Toby) in Snow to meet A/UX 1.x's hardware requirements.
- Fixed Snow bugs related to ADB keyboard modifier keys and NCR 5390 DMA handling during A/UX 1.1 installation.
- Installed A/UX 1.1 by partitioning, installing System 6, and using SASH (Standalone Shell) for bootstrapping.
- Installed A/UX 1.1 from 26 installation disks after fixing emulator issues, leading to a functional system with limited GUI support.
