The word as far as I know it is that CBM has fixed their UNIX version to
look for a specific PAL on the board, and if it is not theirs, then it
won't run. Probably typical CBM sour grapes because they can't produce a
competitive accessory to their own machine. Comes from too much
corporate-oriented tunnel vision. Anyway, all you may have to do is swap
out the PAL, which is socketed on the GVP board for the Commodore one and
you should be in, until they change that… but actually I believe that GVP
is working on something there anyway. They have the sockets on their board
already in place for the UNIX system.
