-
- Most 68030 accelerator boards that include the 68882 FPU chip and at
- least 4mb of fast ram should be able to run AmigaUNIX.
-
- You WILL need Kickstart 2.0 roms unless your accelerator is an A2620 or A2630.
-
- Scsi controllers need AmigaUNIX drivers to run them. Drivers for all
- the Commodore scsi boards are built into the AmigaUNIX kernel. Other
- scsi controller manufacturers can write scsi drivers for AmigaUNIX.
- AmigaUNIX allows adding drivers.
-
- The A2091 should be useable even with other accelerator boards.
