[unix-pc.general] Any UNIX PC'ers going to Fall COMDEX in Vega$?

lenny@icus.islp.ny.us (Lenny Tropiano) (11/10/88)

I'm going to the Fall COMDEX next week Nov. 15-18th in Las Vegas, NV.
I was wondering if anyone from the unix-pc "net" is going to be
there as well?  Maybe we all can meet together at some time?!  If you
are going... and care to get together...  Email me before Nov 14th.

I'll be in the Commodore booth every day, feel free to look me up (and
see Unix running on the Amiga!).

How are you managing this -- I thought there was no MMU on the Amiga.  Have you
got some kind of daughterboard with an MMU?  68030 add-on?  Do tell -- if your
lips are not sealed.

(Yes, yes, apologies to all, this isn't really unix-pc related, well, slap me
on the wrist ...)

Re: Jim Rosenberg's question re: UNIX on the Amiga ..

The AMIX requires the A2620 CPU card containing a 68020/68881/68851; the
68851 is an MMU. (AMIX (correct name?) is the Amiga UNIX SyVR2)

The Amiga supports 68000, 68010, 68020 and 68030 CPUs, along with 68881 and
68882 math coprocessors.

I've had a 68020/68881 in one of my Amigas since early 1986, and I'm now
operating another one with a 68030 (Ronin Hurricane).  These are with 32-bit
wide RAM cards; quite fast!  :-)   The CBM A2620 card also comes with up to
4MB 32-bit wide RAM onboard (2MB default).

By "the Amiga supports 68000,...,68030), I meant direct and correct support,
and has for over 2-1/2 years now.

I have 3 Amigas (one 68010, one 68020, one 68030) and 4 UNIXpcs; the two
systems complement each other nicely (and are so similar in so many ways
it's almost scary).
