	I advise asking in comp.unix.amiga, not here.  There's no basic
hardware reason I know of that would stop it, but I'm a software guy (and an
AmigaDos one at that).  If you want to support the AT-IDE drive it has,
GVP will have to write a unix device-driver for it, and they may need to
have a variant kernel with this driver in it in place of the A3000/2091
scsi driver.  But I'm just guessing.
