I for one definitely want to run UN*X on my Amy 2000. The reason is that
with the exception of the MC68851 PMMU every single piece of hardware I have
to buy to be able to run UN*X also increases throughput if I run AmigaDOS.
I have to buy a 68020 card (hopefully I will be able to buy it soon -- CATS?)
with a 68881 (optionally) and some (>= 2MB) 32bit RAM. All of this will also
make the machine fly under AmigaDOS. So I get UN*X for the cost of the
software, say (hopefully) somewhere below $1000.
