I still have a 1.1 tape, which I may or may not keep. Will Amiga Unix on a non-ECS computer, like an A1200?

Jim,

Amix was very limited in compatibility.  As you may know, it was designed for an ECS '030 machine (A2500, A3000) only.  To the best of my memory, it will not run on anything other than an '030.  There were libraries written to run with various video cards but I'm not sure it is capable of running under AGA.

Since it's usually either SetPatch or hardware banging that activates the AGA features, my guess would be that AMIX might run on a 1200/030. A 2091 SCSI board would obviously be required. Don't know if anyone's tested this before...

hmm, why a 2091? With zoro autoconfig would a driver really be needed? For s***s and giggle I may give it a shot when I get a Dataflyer 1200 scsi next week.

At the time Amix was released, the A2091 was the only SCSI board supported via Amix libraries.  Later SCSI boards may not be fully A2091 compliant and hence Amix may not recognize them.  Everything in Amix is library driven.
