Hi, I an new to the Amiga and have a few questions about its capabilities.

1) I know that a DOS Co-processor is available for the system, does it really
   work, will it allow the use of PC compatable disk drives & display cards
   (eg. can I use EGA/VGA software & be compatable?)

2) Is there a Unix port for the Amiga, if so, who has it & is there any 
   software to speak of for this OS?

3) Are there (m)any network adapeters available, Ethernet? Token? or can I
   use the same card as a PC if I am running in a PC Emulation mode?

4) Most important (so I dont have to ask more silly all encompassing 
   questions) where is the best place to look for more information on
   these topics?

I realize that these questions are very broad and almost impossible to answer
completely. The main intent is to determine if these things are a reality, or
if I am just dreaming. Also to find a place to look for more info.

Thanks in advance for your help!
