This fork of Shoebill builds on Apple Silicon and allows networking using Apple's VMNet (needs to be executed as root!)

Shoebill

A Macintosh II emulator that runs A/UX (and A/UX only).

Shoebill is an all-new, BSD-licensed Macintosh II emulator designed from the ground up with the singular goal of running A/UX.

Shoebill requires a Macintosh II, IIx or IIcx ROM, and a disk image with A/UX installed.

Download the latest release, and then see the getting started wiki.

Update (Sept 13, 2015): Shoebill 0.0.5 is available

This will probably be the last release. I won't be able to work on Shoebill going forward (by contractual obligation), so I wanted to race out one last release. Only an OS X binary is available, sorry, and it's very unpolished. But the SDL GUI should still build on linux/windows.
