- 50Mb is barely enough to install the shell on AMIX. For some
- reason.. I do believe that you have to install AMIX on the primary drive.
- #6? and Tape drive on #4? Anyway, I have had an A3000 that was purchased
- used and it had the same problem. Good thing it was returned. Check waht
- revision motherboard it is, the one that I had problem with was quite old
- and I believe that it was the SCSI bus that was bad.. Oh... You are
- stuck with OpenLook. I heard of rumor of X11R6 released for AMIX but
- have not seen it nor tried it.
