Amiga Unix running on a Picasso II+

[AmireX]

Thank you for the information. My A3k is running a TIGA card now, nice but boring  :-)

Yes, I scanned eBay almost 2 years for it and 3 or 4 month ago it came up and is working very well. I have X running on it and have the same problems with the keyboard like you do.

Anyhow I will try to port the NetBSD CV64 driver to Amix, even I'm not a unix driver expert. This time I study some old Unix SR4 programmer books that will hopefully help  :-)

If this will ever work we can talk about the tiga card  ;-)

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?

It's a shame, Amix has some special parts that are compiled for the MMU of an 68030. These code parts are not available as sources inside the installation. The whole Amix source code is (Commodore like) no more available  :cry:

My A3k had a CS'060 built in before I installed Amix. Now I downgraded to a Blizzard 4030 with an 68030 at 50 MHz. This is a high price to run an antique OS  :-)
