Well, I've been interested in Unix on the Amiga for years, but never had a chance to get my hands on an Amiga setup that would be able to run UNIX (AMIX).

Today I own an fully expanded A4000PPC with Mediator, Voodoo4, soundcard, NIC, USB2.0 highspeed, UW-SCSI-HD's, DVD-RW and tape streamer - just to name a few.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to get AMIX working on that beast.

Appearently the OS comes on tapes?

Most likely I can't use those tapes in my tape streamer?

Is it possible to get the OS from the tapes onto a different medium - e.g. CDs/DVDs - and install it from there?
All the best,

Dandy
