I imagine that Amiga UNIX (A/UX?, nah - dumb name :-) ) would run on a 68020
board much like PC-DOS runs on the Bridge.  Shouldn't you be able to use
both Amiga DOS and UNIX at the same time (and PC-DOS, for that matter)?  You
could use a terminal emulator running under Amiga DOS to access the UNIX
side of the machine.
