[comp.sys.amiga] concurrent AmigaDOS and AMIX

sparks@corpane.UUCP (John Sparks) (03/14/89)

I know I went through this a few months ago, but something new
has come up. 

Basically I had heard here on the net that with the 2500UX you
could run AmigaDOS OR AMIX but not at the same time. I posted a
message asking for confirmation and it was made by some one at
cbmvax (sorry I don't remember who). 

But in the latest issue of Compute! [don't laugh. I have a gift
subscription, I wouldn't pay for the rag] The Amiga column says
that Commodore released a technical report on the 2500 and 
2500UX, and they said that it would run AmigaDOS concurrently
with AMIX. 

So someone is wrong somewhere. I tend to trust the programmers
rather than the marketing bozes, But in this case I am kinda 
hoping the marketing bozes are right :-)

If not, either 
a> Compute misinterpreted the facts
b> Commodore marketing better get there facts straight before
they give false 'press releases' and get all our hopes up
for nothing   :-(

Probably me, and it's still true.

Nope, sorry, not yet.

The only way to run AmigaDOS and AMIX concurrently is to buy two
Amigas.  FTCI: The answer is no, you can't run both concurrently.
