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. -----Original Message----- From: Henry Bent To: TUHS main list Sent: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:45 Subject: Re: [TUHS] SPARC is CRAPS spelled backwards.

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? -Henry
