A new Amiga Unix (Amix) wiki has launched, dedicated to preserving the history of Commodore's AT&T System V Release 4 Unix port for the Amiga. Amix, released in 1990, allowed users to run a full Unix environment on their Amiga computers. The wiki aims to document Amix, including installation guides and software information, catering to enthusiasts.

Amix ran on the Amiga 2500UX and 3000UX models, though it can run on any Amiga meeting hardware requirements. WinUAE, a popular Amiga emulator, has supported Amix since 2013, making it easier to experience. The wiki offers documentation on hardware, tutorials, software, and general tips. The site also provides links to various resources related to Amix.

While Amix never achieved mainstream success, it is a fascinating piece of computing history. The wiki provides a valuable resource for those interested in exploring this vintage Unix variant. Those looking to try modern Unix should steer clear, but if you're curious about the early days of systems programming, this site is worth a look.

Ultimately, Amix represents a unique intersection of computing history and nostalgia. By documenting Amix, the wiki ensures its legacy is preserved. The site's focus on installation and practical use will likely appeal to retro-computing enthusiasts and those interested in the evolution of operating systems.
