I had previously (twice) asked here on Compuserve whether Amiga Unix was compatible with a 68040, and noone knew. So … I checked with a Commodore rep at the World of Commodore show – who said it was definitely NOT compatible. Something about addressing modes that are not supported by the 68040 – that are used extensively in the Amiga Unix code. He didn't even say that they are committed to making the code work on the 68040 for the next release … so it could be a while – if ever.
