 Due to all the recent postings about Amix and the 2500UX, I was wondering if
it would be possible to run Amix (when it is released) on a stock amiga 2000.
Or at least a 3 meg 2000? I was under the impression that the reason this
wouldn't be the case is the lack of an MMU for the 2000. And as far as I know
the only way to get an MMU is to buy an A2620. This is a little too much
money for me to even consider, especially seeing the price of 32 bit ram.

  Now of course cbm or even a third party source could come out with a MMU
only card (is this possible? I would imagine so, but you people know better).
This would allow the 2000 to run amix, assuming again, that the MMU is the
only thing standing in it's way.

  So I would really apreciate it if someone could let me (and the rest of the
net) know the whole scoop. 

 One more thing, if it IS possible to run it on a 2000 with a hypothetical
MMU card, why not make one? Please? Pretty Please? etc..

Thanks..
