Amiga UNIX
3 messages in this thread
Hi all…
I am interested in getting UNIX for my 3000 but I have some questions.
1) How much storage space does UNIX take? I have an external SYQUEST
drive. Will it fit on that? 2) Where do I get it and how much does
it cost? 3) Can I get a 24-bit graphics board so I can run openlook,
openwindows,
and other software like MATHCAD and Mathematica?
All your help is greatly appreciated.

UNIX will fit on an 88 Meg SyQuest, just barely. Definately will not fit
on a 44 Meg. UNIX with X/Open Look will probably not fit on the 88 Meg
(not sure about that one however. The full installation with all source
take just under 200 Meg. If you have a 100 Meg internal in the 3000 then a
normal installation with X/OpenLook will work.
>Where do I get it and how much…?
You should be able to get it from your Amiga Dealer. The cost will be
about $900 for the two user license or about $1200 for the unlimited user
license.
>… 24-bit graphics board…"
Yes the C= Lowell graphics board does work. Not sure about other boards.
An Amiga with less than 18 Meg memory is pretty slow. At least my Amiga
with 9 Meg crawls compared to the machine with 18 Meg.
