There was an announcement on BIX I believe, and it went something like this:

TITLE:  Amiga UNIX Box Now Available, Commodore Says

Commodore's Amiga 3000UX UNIX workstation is finally available, the company
has announced. The Amiga 3000UX runs AT&T's UNIX System V Release 4 and is
based around a standard Amiga 3000 with a 68030 processor running at 16
MHz. The 3000UX also runs X Window and Open Look on top of System V.

Commodore will offer 2 models of the machine. The 3000UX-B, which retails
for $5499, comes with 4 MB of fast RAM and a 100- MB hard drive. THe
3000UX-D, priced at $6999, comes with 8 MB of fast RAM and a 200-MB hard
drive. They can be expanded to hold up to 18 MB of RAM on the motherboard.
Both models have an Ethernet board, UNIX system software, mouse, and a
single 3.5- inch floppy drive that Commodore describes as "multiformat."

The systems also ship with Commodore's AmigaDOS operating system so that
they can also function as standard Amiga 3000 computers. The systems
support NFS and TCP/IP and are designed to operate very much as standard
UNIX workstations.
