	I am assuming that Unix will run fine on the Commodore
Accellerators, such as my A2630.  The question is will Unix run on the GVP
accellerators (like their 33MHz and 50MHz 68030's)?  GVP doesn't seem to be
too much help in anwering this question, when I called their tech support
and asked, he first answered, "I don't know."  Then when I asked how I
could find out, he put me back on hold and came back with "yes, it will
work, fine."  However, when I made it clear that I intended to try it, the
yes turned into "well, it will probably work..."

	I am not even sure how I would install Unix on my A2500 (A2630)
much less how to do it on a GVP equipted machine.  I know when I re-boot
the A2500 w/ both mouse buttons down that it gives me a menu which includes
Unix.  I have the Unix tape, and the Commodore tape drive, the problem is I
don't know how I would install the Unix software (from AmigaDos) do that
the Unix menu would recognize it.  GVP claims (or used to claim) to have
ROM sockets on their boards to support unix but I don't know if these
really exist.
