Amiga 2000HD run unix?
« on: April 20, 2009, 03:41:57 AM »
Can a stock Amiga 2000 HD run the original Amiga UX that came with the 2500UX models?

Just wondering....

Thanks,
Mike Valverde

Great Link Matt - and once again without an Accelerator, I am out of luck!  They just sooooo expensive!


Oh well, maybe I can get it to work in UAE! I just always wanted to mess with it.  I remember reviewing colleges when I was in high school and saw schools like Virginia Tech (Computer Engineering) could use Amigas with Unix for their curriculum...

Thanks for the info!

But wait, you need only a cheapo A2620 or A2630, right? At least that's what the 2500UX housed.


Cheapo huh?  Wonder where I could get one... haven't seen one of those for sale yet on ebay or Amibay - everthing I see is normally expensive - well over $100!

If anyone had one at the right price - I'd buy one, but haven't seen on yet!

BTW, Thanks for the info!

Dave,

  I don't know what others would consider "fair", but with hardware this old you have to weigh scarcity/demand/reliability all together.  I guess its only worth what you can get for it or willing to pay for it!  And being a free market person I am, if you can get more, then do so because it is what I would do!  To me about $75 + shipping is all I could pay for an A2620/2630 accelerator.  



Thanks,
Mike
