   I have a couple of questions about the A3000UX Amiga UNIX system from
Commodore.

   First, of all, how has Commodore solved the problem of the need for
their UNIX system to be compatible with the IBM 1.44MB floppy disk
format?  This format has become a standard for UNIX workstation systems,
and Dave H. himself has mentioned the need for any Commodore UNIX 
systems to be able to read and write this format.  

   Second, this might seem like a silly question, but what kind of 
mouse is to be included with the A3000UX?  The use of three-button mice
has become an unofficial standard for X-Windows systems, and any
Commodore UNIX systems should also include a three-button mouse.  

   Actually, I was hoping that AmigaOS2.0 would include support for
three-button mice, and that Commodore would start including three-
button mice with all Amiga systems, including the UNIX systems, but 
I guess this was not to be.
