When I was in Pasadena for the world of Commodore, I asked about Unix
for my 68040.  The response was something along the lines of this:
 
GB>  When will I be able to get Unix for my '040?
 
CBM> Well, that depends on whther you want SVR4 or SVR4.2?
 
GB> SVR4.2 would be alot better!
 
CBM> Thats what we thought too, so it may be awhile yet.
 
GB> How longs awhile?
 
CBM> Unitil we get it done!
 
GB> Oh, thanks.
 
Thats about as accurate as he would get!

I remember earlier that there where only drivers for the C= SCSI controller.

Has this changed? 

Is there any drivers for GVP controllers available now?

Yes, X is included and runs reasonable well on a A2024. It sucks on a VGA
screen. Motif is available as an option (= more $$). SLIP is included in
the base price and works (at least with KA9Q/PC, which is all I could test).

Calipher, Sankyo, Wangtek brands of QIC-150 SCSI streamers. There is an
external tape drive from C= called A3070 that contains a Calipher
streamer with custom ROMs that make it go faster.

Usually, ie. over serial lines, this is because the Permissions file
doesn't have the appropriate entries.  Have you checked that?  Try
changing directory to /usr/lib/uucp and running ./uucheck -v as root.

Hi,  I was wondering if Commodore has plans on upgrading there unix operating

it take advantage of a 68040 in an amiga 3000 well?? If So I would think

I use ADPro to show Pics on the a2410. If you are developer you find

MotherBoard port in my case.  Until/unless it is fixed, I won't put either

It turns out my ser fix actually broke the driver.  I will be fixing this
and posting another version soon.

The ql driver fix is working and is very useful.

	From what I heard when C= had a UNIX dept., GVP had had drivers
	somewhere deep in their lab but there were 2 problems:

	1) The UNIX crew wanted source for ALL the drivers to be available
	   to the end users and GVP was less that thrilled at the prospect
	   of this.

	2) Ali hated, still hates?, GVP mightily and to suggest that GVP
	   drivers be allowed on AmigaUNIX would probably be a one way
	   ticket to a pink slip, not that it mattered for the UNIX people
	   in the end... B^(.

	The main problem is that the drivers have to be in the floppy boot
	kernel in order to access the drives in the first place. This means
	one of three things:

	1) Loadable device drivers, definitely not an option in SVR4.0.
	2) Drivers had to be shipped already in the OS.
	3) GVP had to buy and AT&T source/distribution license and distribute
	   their own boot floppys. A VERY pricey idea and a logistics nightmare
	   for C= v.s. GVP kernel syncronization.

	So, to make a long story short: GVP drivers for AmigaUNIX will never
	happen. Either use a 2091 on a 2000 or forget about AmigaUNIX...

One more data point.  I'm running 2.1c (latest patch), and installed the serial
driver (over the modem no less :) and brought the system back up with no problem
I don't use kermit much, but I do use 'cu' and dial in quite often.  Never
had a problem, but I did see some garbage that I wasn't expecting, though not
as badly as before I installed the patch.  Didn't fix the problem with the
port hanging, though.  That's a streams problem though, apparently.  :(

I don't know for sure, but I haven't heard of them.  You'd need to
contact the particular vendor (GVP in this case) and ask them.  They
may have a finished product, or something that would carry you through
until it was done.

I purchased a Wangtek  from Apunix for < $200 a few months ago.  I also
paid extra for a chassis & power supply.  It is my understanding that they
had a limited number of drives available at this price, so they may no longer
be available, but it is certainly worth giving them a call.

They are at 619/495-9230 or apunix!sales@ucsd.edu

They were also _EXTREMELY_ pleasant to work with, and gave me a complete HW
manual for the tape drive.

Yep. This seems to be sort of a inetd.conf file for TLI creatures. 
Thing to watch: the number in the uucp:reserved:.. line should represent
the inet-number of the local host. This is et up correctly by 2.1, but 
under 2.03, I always had the loopback-address in here, so there could be no

I added Keith's new code to my 2.03 system and it works fine with
the seven port "ql" card.  I didn't try kermit, but have ttymon's,

	If you have 2.1 AmigaUNIX consider yourself damn lucky, get the
	patchdisk if you don't already have it and then sit down with the
	4 nice manuals shipped with AmigaUNIX 2.1 and go through them. They
	are pretty good intro manuals.

	By the way, did you get the 8M/200M UX or the, wretch-puke-hurl

	Let us know how it goes,

2.03 was the last Amiga Unix release put out before the number of
people in the Amiga Unix group dropped to zero.  I was technically
the last one, and I did leave, no quotes.

The serial driver may occaisionally put out stream control packets
as data.  The effect is a burst of garbage followed by a hung port or
device on ioctl's (often fixable by sending a break).  So if you use ksh
with editing, you may see this if you're on a serial port, since it's
switching back and forth bewtween raw and cooked mode a lot.  You may
also see it during such transitions in programs such as elm or vi.

I'll be happy to apply them when the /dev/term/ser driver works... The one posted
locks up the machine big time.  I pulled both ql and sl after that happened. 

I second Rob's request, what was the impetus for this change and what are the symptoms
fixed...

Thanx,

Followup:  It's getting "uucp" from /etc/saf/tcp/_pmtab.
