[comp.unix.amiga] Buying amiga unix software

steve@arezzo.siemens.com.siemens.com (Steve Giovannetti) (02/28/91)

Well, Amiga Unix sounds great. It sounds like the best thing since sliced
bread.  So when can I buy the software???  I already have an A3000.  Can I
just buy a 1/4" tape drive and start loading the distribution?  I have called
some folks at CBM but I haven't heard from them since my initial inquiry.  I
hope this doesn't mean that there will be no software release...

I am in the same situations as Steve. How can I get UNIX SVR4 for my 
amiga 3000?

i was at the CeBIT show in hannover. a C= salesperson told me, that the unix 
software will be released on a 200mb quantum drive ready to plug in a3000 and 
play. software plus drive will cost about 3500,-DM (don't know the current 
US$ exchange-rate). he didn't know, if there will be a 1/4" tape with the 
software.
the drive version should be available in 6-8 weeks.

	Note: In Commodore, the individual national sales companies set prices
(and sometimes decide how/when something will be distributed).  So this may
not apply to the US, for example (though it's certainly indicates Commodore
plans to release it separately).

Disclaimer: (As usual) this is not any sort of official Commodore statement,
just my person comments.
