If my memory serves, the first ports of Unix for the

for the PC/AT (i.e. earlier) and were for Xenix, not Unix (yes, I
know, a minor quibble). It was an odd arrangement--Microsoft was
working on the utilities, etc. and Intel was working on the kernel
code. The whole affair seemed to take forever
Well once Intel gets the bugs out of the 80286 I am sure M$ will
get the real programs like BASIC for Xenix. :)
Did not Xenix follow the Small 8086 model - 64K data & 64K code?
