also MachTen, Tenon's UNIX on MacOS. it ran as a process on top of MacOS, not in place of (as A/UX did). i never got my hands on A/UX but ran MachTen for a while in grad school (i was too poor to own an SGI). this was before LinuxPPC and MkLinux/PPC were around, and before UN*X ports to mac68ks were working.
