Are you sure it uses XENIX? I gave one of these to Will Jennings, along with
the companion tape drive, a couple of years back. Perhaps he can help you.

Greetings from
Fritz Chwolka - Duisburg
I am pretty sure that it used Xenix, but I shall fire it up again this
weekend just to make sure. I can see why there is some confusion
(myself included) because it shows here:
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=515
Which describes mine to a "T", 40mb drive and all (but the local
console, I only have a term), and uses Xenix.
and
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=516
Which is similar, but uses the Z80 (hence the 580, rather than the 586
with uses the 8086), has a TV out, and no ethernet option. It uses CP/M
2.2, M/MP-80, or OASIS.
I'll know more this weekend.
