Re: [hatari-devel] Atari TT emulation and SCSI/Atari SysV Unix

[Uwe Seimet <Uwe.Seimet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, changes getting Linux-68K running are higher than getting the Atari
SVR4 running. The latter is mainly interesting for historic purposes
anyway, but it's less powerful then Linux-68K. But at the time it was
released (1990, actually to developers only), there was no Linux for the
Atari yet. Together with Solaris it was actually one of the very first
SVR4 implementations at all.
And, by the way, it has never been free software. I paid about 4000 DM
for it. Guess I'm one of the very few who even has an original manual ;-).

Take care

Uwe
