Hey, if apple can run mac-software-that-was-never-designed-with-multitasking-
in-mind under UNIX, surely commodore can get a UNIX that supports well-behaved-
amiga-software-in-protected-mode. UNIX *does* support shared memory segments,
you know. AllocMem would have to be pretty hacked up, as would all the AmigaDOS
junk... but intuition.library and all the standard devices should work OK with
just a little care.

A whole shitload of work on the pat of whoever sets it up...

If you need a dedicated UNIX and Amiga fanatic to work on it, I'm not that
cheap but I am enthusiastic :->/2.
