- Doesn't come with it, but there is one availavle apparently. When I got my
- UNIX (used) the guy was selling the FORTAN with it. I see no reason to
- corrupt the system, though. :)

- It's got X windows with Open Look. What ever happened to the Motif that was
- always in the articles they wrote about AMIX, anyway? I'd much rather use
- Motif than OL anyday. SL/IP is in there, and I have sucessfully used it to
- talk with a 386BSD system. In fact it was much less painful to set it up
- to talk via SL/IP than UUCP, but a local provider charges 5x more to give a
- SL/IP feed than a UUCP one. *shrug*

- >What tape drives does it support?
-
- Archive Viper and Caliper CP-150/Commodore 3070 (which can apparently get gotten
- through a place in this months Amiga World for $350. Not a bad price).
-
- I think if you're planing to run it on your 500, you might want to expect
- problems, though. I got my 3K with the intent of running UNIX on it the
- whole time. Even thought I had to wait a fricking YEAR to get the thing...
- Almost 2, actually. :(
