Unix on an Amiga will be like running Ultrix on a Vax.
How many VMS programs run under Ultrix?

Use of the Vulcan 3 key nerve pinch I believe is the answer.
I don't know if you can have both file systems on one disk. I think they had
more flexibility in doing something smart than we did in amigados. They had
time to do it right, again and again and again. I think Johann ported V
to the amiga 3 or 4 times so he must be getting good at it. Different memory
mappers and different V.x can make you to start all over.
