A couple of questions for all you unix/amiga wizards. :-) Is anyone out there interested in UNIX on an amiga ? Is it feasible given enough memory ? Is there any unbiased benchmarks available for the ST/Amiga debate ? Are Motorala going to make available 4.2 BSD source licences for Amigas, how much ? :-) Isn't the answer to the "Amiga's take longer to load" the fact that unlike practically every other micro, the amiga does not have a disk directory, and hashes everything instead ? The 68000 and 68010 are pin-compatible, does this therefore mean that I can rip out a 68000, pop in a 68010, and apart from minor work like having to rewrite the entire operating system, and any programs I want to run, I have a souped up Amiga ? Can you increase the clock on the amiga ? what to ? Thanx for listening. -- Stephen Day, Comp Sci Dept, University of Glasgow, Scotland seismo!mcvax!ukc!glasgow!days The Surgeon General has assertained that not having a Disclaimer here can be HAZARDOUS TO YOUR WEALTH

Or Franz or ZetaLISP. Or maybe SCHEME! Or how about MRS or OPS5? Anyone feeling ambitious?
