|With the proper UNIX device driver, any Amiga hardware device should work

  I spoke with Perry about this a few weeks back. He said that currently
  ASDG has no Amix driver (or 2500UX), but they do want to write one. He
  felt the hardware would work but had no real idea when a driver would
  be available.
