Xenix-11 would be good to track down, for those that need a reminder
here is an advert for it:

http://bitsavers.org/pdf/apple/lisa/xenix/brochures/PDP-11_Xenix_Brochure_Aug84.jpg

relevant text from advert:

"XENIS SYSTEM FOR THE PDP-11 AND LSI-11 FAMILIES"
"COMPLETE OPERATING SYSTEM PACKAGES LICENSED UNDER AT&T'S UNIX SYSTEM III"

"Our XENIX system is real UNIX with such commercial enhancements as
file and record locking, greater reliability, and improved system
administration facilities. A unique memory overlay method enables
complete UNIX performance on the LSI-11/23. The new LSI-11/73
processor is also fully supported. (For VAX users, 4.2 bsd virtual
memory UNIX is available.)"

and

"The Santa Cruz Operation has XENIX available on many popular personal
computers including the IBM Personal Computer, the Apple Lisa and the
DEC Professional 350."

SCO Xenix System V 2.1.3 exists for IBM PC (5160)
SCO Xenix 3.0 Rel 1.0 exists for Apple Lisa

Someone in the DEC Pro 350/380 collector community may have a copy of XENIX.
