Amiga Unix (Amix) is a discontinued full port of AT&T Unix System V Release 4 operating system developed by Commodore-Amiga, Inc. in 1990 for the Amiga computer family as an alternative to AmigaOS, which shipped by default.
Unlike Apple’s A/UX compatibility layer for System 7 applications, Amiga Unix contains no compatibility layer for AmigaOS applications.
With few native applications available to take advantage of the Amiga’s significant multimedia capabilities, it failed to find a niche in the competitive Unix workstation market of the early 1990s.
The Amiga Unix Wiki is dedicated to preserving Amix’s history and sharing information and instructions on what Amix is and how to install it on real hardware or in emulation.
The history of Unix is a lengthy and complex topic, and there are many resources available for those interested in learning more about it.
