There was Xenix-86 which ran on the AT&T 6300, and IBM PC/XT. I ran it on an 8MHz NEC V30 cpu on the 6300. I would love to install it on my Panasonic Sr. Partner but lost the install key.

Did the 5150 have a UNIX available anywhere near its launch date? I know
that it had DOS, CP/M-86, and the UCSD p-System relatively early on. It's
not clear to me whether Xenix ever supported the original PC; were there
other early porting efforts?
