I believe it requires a 68030, or a 68020 with an MMU, something
like that. So it will only run on Amiga 3000s, or Amiga 2500s.
The Unix software, which you can buy from an Amiga dealer,
runs about $950 for a 2-user license, or something like $1200
for unlimited user license.
To install it requires a Commodore A3070 tape drive though,
(I believe that's the number, its a QIC-150 SCSI tape drive).
That is to say, it doesn't install from floppy disks.
Or you can buy a A3000UX machine from Commodore with Unix
pre-installed. They had a deal going on where you could
get the machine with a tape drive, ethernet card, 10meg
of memory for about $5000. I don't know if that is
still going on.
