He is saying that the Amiga will not run Unix withiut a 68020/030/040. Sure, there have been implementations of Unix on 68010 (and even 68000, in the case of the Sun 1), and in fact I have one (Sun 2/50) right beside my Amiga. The implementations based on a 68010 were specifically written to be run on a 68010. -larry -- The raytracer of justice recurses slowly, but it renders exceedingly fine. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
