| O.k. lets re-visit this one-more-time.
Note 4248 - "Minix <> Amiga 1000"
Anyone got a "definitive", "working" answer?

I thought I had seen someone on Usenet claim they had it running on an A1000.
I think one of the concerns is memory. You need at least 1meg to make the
system usefull (I think 512K is minimum) - and 7 meg is right nice :-)

Hi,
Presuming that I had a copy of the images in .0, can I use a unix
system on the ami?

no. That is only a part of the distribution (the compiled kernel). There are
9 floppies in the real kit which must be purchased from Prentice Hall
for about $180.00 (I think)

| For someone with a 68020/6881, 4meg 32 bit memory, 3 meg 16 bit memory,
and a 105 meg harddisk, is this the best UN*X I can get for my system? Are there
other choices?

| re: -.1
If your accelerator card includes an MMU (68851), then it might be
worthwhile waiting for Commodore to release its version of Unix for
A2500-class machines. They've stated on Usenet that there _will_ be a
general release. However, hardware requirements are along the lines of
what you've got for CPU, memory and harddrive, plus MMU chip and
probably a tape drive for backups.

Re: -.1
Thanks. Yes, there's an MMU. I Didn't have plans for a tape drive
though, so I hope there's alternative backup means (I have a "real"
SCSI controller, just no $$ for a drive). The reason I asked this was
because the CBM 68020 board will boot "AMIX" (which since was renamed
by CBM to Amiga Unix), so I wondered if it was still going to be true.
I'm also wondering how much space I'll lose on the 100meg drive to the
Unix/Minix software. I'd like to have AmigaDOS and *IX.
