Amiga Unix, again
A hobby group is making Commodore’s System V Release 4 Amiga UNIX installable on newer 68040/68060 machines. The project reports a 040/060 kernel port, SCSI and Ethernet drivers for accelerator hardware, an installer, a remote package client, a cross-toolchain, and an OpenLook desktop; X11/Mesa and additional graphics support are still in progress. The site is clear that this is heritage preservation and experimentation, not a practical alternative to modern Unix systems.
Hacker News commenters split between appreciating the real-hardware work and questioning the point of reviving Amix when NetBSD still supports Amiga hardware. A separate thread criticized the site’s heavily LLM-assisted prose and debated whether AI-enabled hobby projects are valuable when the human contribution is hard to see.
