- I need some advice on running Unix on my Amiga.
-
- My set up is A1200 blizzard Mk3 50mhz 030, 4meg fast ram and 210meg
- internal ide hard disk. I want to run Unix (linux) and am also going to
- upgrade my sytem as follows, scsi2 interface, blittersoft tower and a
- graphics board. Can I run linux off this??
-
- Friends have said that I cannot as there is no support for A1200 scsi
- drives.
-
- Can you please offer some advice. I cannot afford a A4000 and I do not
- wish to bin my ide drive to get a bigger one. Any advice would be most
- welcome.
-
- Thanks in Advance
