- Dear Netland,
- I have two questions about Minix for the Amiga I need answered before
- I decide to buy Minix or not.
-
- First : Does Minix take over the operating system so that you can't have
- AmigaDOS programs and windows open while using Minix? Is there a way to
- be running both at the same time?
-
- Minix takes over the whole machine, No AmigaDOS support.
-
- Second : What software/hardware would I need to connect to my school's
- TCP/IP network with an Amiga 2000 running Minix?
-
- Minix currently does not support any network that I know about. There may
- be some user developed enhancements that provide this, but I don't know
- about them.
-
- Thanks in advance.
