 How strange! There is a "FileSystem" for the Amiga that uses the same acronym
 for its name; but that happens to be for harddisks and such only
 (gives better HD performance, storage use and safety).

 Is there some kind of relation between NFS(Unix) and AFS(Mac)?
 Can they "cooperate"?

"Our  pre-emptive  multitasking  Operating System AmigaOS will be ported to
the  Power  PC  platform  first.   Our  goal  is  to  make  our OS hardware
independent  to  allow  further  ports  on  other  platforms"
