A short personal story: In my new engineering job, I was allowed to specify 
which workstation I could receive.  I was a long-standing Amiga freak, so I
asked for an A3000UX, because it could be an ADOS, Unix, PC, or Mac with the
appropriate kludge add-ons.  It took months of belly aching to management to
overcome the prevailing "buy a [PeeCee, Mac, Sun]" mentality, but I persisted.

Too Bad.

My A3000UX shows up last week.  With Unix 1.1 and ADOS 2.03 on the disk, no
ADOS roms.  Regular, not high-density floppy drive.  From all indications, this
machine is one that was sitting in a warehouse for a year. The AS225 NFS
software I ordered didn't show up, either.

So I call the droid in Virginia who handles this account. He had ZEEEROO
knowledge of this product. He swore Unix 2.1 didn't exist yet, that high-
density floppies never existed for the A3000, and that the AS225 s/w was
pre-installed on the hard-drive(bullshit).  Said he would fed-ex the ROMS &
AS225 right away.  Yeh. That was 5 days ago.

In short, I am wicked pissed.  What a bullshit operation!  I wish them a
short and exciting ride to oblivion!

Under Amiga Unix.  XDM is run under sac.  XDM restarts itself after
the X server (either by fatal error or normal termination) goes away.
In at least on case I have seen XDM's log file grow to 40 megs in one
night because I forgot to setup the X server correctly.

Organization: Doctoral student, Robotics, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

I have the equivalent of an Amiga 2500 system -

A2000 with A2630 (4 megs), A2232 serial card, A2320 deinterlacer, GVP
Series II SCSI controller, ProRAM board with 2 more megs, Quantum LPS
240 hard disk.

Total: 7 megs (4 32-bit fast, 2 16-bit fast, 1 chip) and 240 MB of
disk space.

Questions:  Will AmigaUNIX work with this setup?  Now that it is being
sold separately, I'm considering it.  I guess the real question is
whether or not it will work with the GVP Series II SCSI controller.
Does GVP need to write a driver for this, or will it magically work
right out of the box?  

If it will work, will it be usable?  I imagine that 16-bit fast RAM
would be quite a slow down from 32-bit fast, but it has to be better
than paging to disk...

Rob,

Do you have any sort of benchmarks comparing your A3000UX with the 386 box
running SVR4 that you use at work?  I know this is a rather silly question,
but we are arguing about the 386 vs 030 over on comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and
someone suggested that the best comparison would be under SVR4 and GCC.

If you do not have the time or just don't feel up to it, it won't kill us,
but we will all probably flame each other to ashes.  :-)

I don't know about that.  Solaris will, after all, also be ported to many
platforms and it will add two very important things to SVR4:  multiprocessing
and multithreading.  I'd think that would be worth the cost of upgrading for at
least a few people.  Perhaps you hear no mention of it because it's a matter
or whether or not Sun wants to port it to the Amiga, not vice versa.
     Looking at the Byte ads for Solaris, it appears that it will be released
on CD-ROM (perhaps other media as well) which seems like a smart idea to me.
Imagine being able to pop in a single CD and have most or all of your OS
upgrade in place.

"Commodore Business Machines, which actually lives up to its name here in
Germany, had small Unix systems based on its new 486 PCs on display."

Without starting a flame war, were these actually 486s or where they 
Amiga 3000UXs? If it is a 486 what version of UNIX runs on them, if they
were 3000s I would like to let Open Systems know.  This is the type of
magazine that the 3000UX needs some publicity in.

Can some kind soul tell me what I need to do next please??
For bonus points, I'd be interested to hear about running SLIP
from AmigaDOS as well as SVR4 :-)

Since I'm fairly sure this is an old topic, please send replies
direct to me over email.

advTHANKSance!

Cheers,

Mark.

Well, it doesn't support the GVP-SCSI-controller, but the memory IS
used. (well, as long as it is autoconfig-urated).

The chip-mem is NOT used by Unix as main-memory, so you only count 6 MB.
