The lonely world of Amiga UNIX

[Matt_H]

Well, I appreciate the work you've been doing! :-)

I'm back at college now, and my AMIX A3000 is at home; I've only got my A4000T with me. Working with AMIX has reversed my opinions of *ix systems - it's far less daunting now, and I really find myself missing my AMIX box and Linux on my AmigaOne.

My A3000 is only the 16MHz model; I'm in the market for the 25MHz version. I also need some more hardware to make it really usable (2065, 2410). If I can get at least the 2065, I'll probably bring it into service as a full machine.

I think this is the most activity AMIX has seen in the past 5 years. ;-)

@ corsavert

That setup would probably work for AMIX with a C=590 controller on the expansion port.

There might be a patch for GVP controllers under AMIX on the Gateway CDs (AMIX parts of which I keep forgetting to upload!), but I seem to recall it being for version 2.1c, which is not widely available. Even then it might only work with A2000 GVP boards.

@ boinghead

There's no need for profane language. If it's copious amounts of software you want, then I suggest looking at a Wintel PC.

@ Failure

I also noticed the lack of working package management with the sysadm utility. Any idea what the problem is? Maybe a master package list is missing? I recall seeing one in one of the mmhart tape images... Will redownload and investigate.
