[comp.sys.amiga] Developing the A2500UX

scotty@pnet02.cts.com (Scott Hoisington) (03/12/89)

How might a prospective developer get their mitts on a shiny new Amiga 
A2500UX full of system software to work with?  Is there a possibility of 
betatesting?  How might that same developer at least aquire an information 
packet?  

Finding out that a version of my favorate computer was to have a working 
form of UNIX was shocker and a pleaser.  I await answers to the above 
information with sweaty mitts.

A while back, there was a small batch of units that were for sale to
commercial developers.  I think there was more demand than supply,
and these are definitely beta machines (as far as the software goes),
so CATS is more selective than usual about who qualifies to get one.
I'm not sure if there are still some available, but I beleive that
Brenda Billings (brenda@cbmvax) is the one to ask for information.
