A/UX has problems as a unix 

one nice point for the IBM PC type of machines is that many different versions
of unix have been ported to them in various forms...all the way from xenix
(which is a hack) to some really nice unixs' on 386....

and of course there is the Amiga which is just a nice machine with some cool
hardware and not enough software....
