I sure hope C= (or at least the marketing section) doesn't
make it so Amiga UNIX won't work on 3rd party hard drives controllers
and accelerators.  I have a GVP series II and GVP '030
board.  I will not buy an A2091 to run Amiga UNIX, I would
go without.  It seems to me, that there are many A2000 systems
out there with non-C= '030 boards and non-C= hard drive controllers.
If some of the more common configurations aren't supported,
then I don't see much of a future for Amiga UNIX on soupped up
A2000's, which is too bad, 'cause I don't want to put more 
money in computer hardware right now (I've already spent ~8K
on my dream Amiga system :-).
