Funny enough, a few years later Commodore offered a port of Unix System V that ran on the Amiga 3000, I actually played with it in my University.

They had an interesting hack to connect to a high-res monitor. Timing wise they had to stick to the standard TV timing otherwise regular Amiga software would not work. So they created a hack where the Amiga would send 4 screens of pixels that would then assembled and sent to a high-res monitor. Screen refresh rate was very slow though.
