About Atari UNIX

[Plamen Mihaylov]

Hello,

I'm writing you because I saw a message in classiccmp.org about Atari UNIX.

The sender email was no longer available so I'm writing in the mail-list
- hope it is ok.
I didn't know the Atari UNIX release recognize any ethernet device, but
since Riebl will work
I'm going to buy a  TT and the network adapter. Can someone who got the
image upload it and give me a information about restoring it on a hard
drive( is it obligatory at any cost to be a 300MB hdd )?

Regards,
