I placed a bid and I have a system that can run and duplicate the tape. The problem is I might just be bidding on a fancy label. The tape may very well not even be readable any longer. Lets hope either Failure can duplicate his or the high bidder can. I will duplicate it and submit it to Amigaunix if I win it.

Amigaunix got one of the 2 tapes. As far as I can tell these tapes were stored ina good environment.

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.

I figured, but thought I would ask. I currently have a 030 A1200, but obviously it is 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.
