The lonely world of Amiga UNIX

[Xand]

    I just acquired a very yellowed and very abused A3000UX. It was sitting in someone's cellar (along with a 500 that I rescued). Mice had built a nest in it and messed up the motherboard rather badly. There were no hard drives and the floppy drives look questionable. Oddly enough it has 3.1 ROMs,    DMAC 4, and Ramsey 7 (I forgot to check the Buster). I cleaned it last weekend and will be trying it out on this Saturday.
    If it still works, I just happen to have a 3070 and a two user AMIX setup that I'll be trying to install. Do you know if it will work with 3.1 or will I have to find some original ROMs?

Thanks for the files...

Yes, I have the tape, the two boot floppies, the manuals, and the box. I'll check the release when I get home later.

I was grabbing the GCC stuff, not the install media.

I had a soccer game last night so I didn't get home until REALLY late. I'll check tonight or tomorrow and let you know.

I'm glad to hear that it runs on 3.1. I feel a dual boot system coming on...

The tape and the boot floppies say 2.1 and there is another disk that says 2.1 patches.

The floppy drives appear to be dead. I'll be trying to use the external one from my 1200. I'm also "borrowing" the 800 mb scsi hdd from my 1200 Towerhawk to test this.

The buster is rev 11. The jumpers on the MB are set for an accelerator. Someone put a lot of money into this thing, it's too bad it wound up sitting in a basement.

Thanks for the info on the id setting.

@Dalamar
I'm going to make a copy before I try to install it. Many years ago, when I first tried to install Amix, my tape drive ate the tape. Hopefully it won't happen again this time.
