Well, life is full of these little ironies.  Actually, both machines were
pretty well developed hardware concept wise before Commodore and Amiga got
together.  There's also the problem that unix requires a MMU* and at least
5-10MB of disk to get off the ground.  AmigaDos/Tripos is ROMable, and will
work off scrawny little 800KB floppies.

* this is true until proven otherwise on this machine...
