Can one run both AmigaDOS and UNIX simultaneously on the A3000UX?

No. Unix takes over the machine. It needs full control over the MMU, and
uses approx. 1.5Megs for the OS&Display, etc. (I have 2.5 Megs left after
Unix is started, and I have 5 Megs in my 3000...)

Per the Amiga Tech notes:
"Use BRU and a floppy disk to transfer files"
BRU is availible on the UNIX and Amiga sides. If you don't have BRU
contact CBM.

Why wouldn't it work ? Unless you tell it differently, BRU writes floppies in its own format. You BRU the file you want to transfer to a floppy. Switch to the other OS. Unbru to the target location on your harddrive. Maybe someday we can have a BSD filesystem going under AmigaDOS, but this should work for the time being. > Herb andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
