In comp.sys.amiga.hardware you write:

No A2X00, with the possible exception of a few inside C-A, is running
a released version of UNIX.  The ONLY Amigas currently supported are
A3000s.  When (if?) an A2500/30 version is released, someone may also
port it to GVP.  I don't know if GVP could afford the $250,000 cost for
a source license and development, though.  The GVP boards CAN run UNIX.
Anything that has an '030 and a couple of Meg of RAM can.  It's more a
question of whether, or not, there will ever be a port.  Even though
I, too, have an a2630, I'd like to see GVP provide viable alternatives
in the market.
