Well, when the '286 board comes out you may be able to run SCO Xenix on
that, and then AmigaDOS on the 68000. (Yes Brian, I'm still trying to 
get you together with one to see if it is possible) 

If you understood how the 68000 and 68020 interacted via the CPU slot you
would realize why it would be difficult to work it that way. On the other
hand, UNIX could be trained to keep it's fingers of the lower 512K and
it might be possible to run AmigaDOS on the 68020 as a process of the 
UNIX kernel. Sort of a virtual machine set up.

Personal opinion here, you have an excessively long and obnoxious signature
John.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
