I didn't mean that you wouldn't want to run AmigaOS at all, just not at the
same time. There's no reason why you couldn't choose which to boot under.

Really? Hmmm. I would think it would be hard to run A/UX (or AU/X or
whatever) and the Mac OS at the same time due to the nature of Macintosh
ROM calls and whatnot (according to my 68030 reference guide it's pretty
awful). Oh well. I still don't see the advantage. Now sharing files I can
see the desire for.
