./AMIX.commandBoot takes ~70 s, or ~145 s with the tape attached. Always shutdown -i0
inside AMIX before closing the emulator.
This repository contains documentation and configuration only. No Amiga UNIX images, Kickstart ROM or distribution media are included or redistributed.
- The Kickstart ROM is Commodore copyright. Obtain it legitimately — a licensed copy ships with Amiga Forever from Cloanto, which is what this build uses.
- AMIX distribution images are hosted by the Amiga Unix Wiki, not here.
- SVR4 packages come from that same wiki and carry their own licences.
Local copies live in media/, which is gitignored and never committed.
Networking and DNS explains how to re-enable
SHA-1 key exchange and ssh-rsa host keys in macOS's sshd_config. That is
necessary to reach an OpenSSH 3.9 build from 2004, and it meaningfully
weakens your SSH server for every client that connects to it. Scope it to the
emulator's subnet with a Match Address block, or revert it afterwards. Do not
apply it to anything exposed to a network you do not control.
Code (AMIX.command, config/) is MIT — see LICENSE.
Documentation (README.md, CREDITS.md, config-reference.md, memory/, and
the Wiki) is CC BY 4.0 — see
LICENSE-DOCS.
The installation procedure, distribution media and SVR4 package collection come from the Amiga Unix Wiki — https://www.amigaunix.com/. Departures from that procedure are noted as such in the Wiki here.
Full acknowledgements in CREDITS.md — this build rests on the work of many people, in particular Michael Parson's SVR4 package bundles and the WinUAE SCSI tape emulation.
