Xenix/286-Any hints?

8 Mar 2001

...
   	Didn't Mark Williams' Coherent run on 286
boxes, or was it
  strictly 386 and above?  I messed with it a little 11-12 years ago
  and had it running on a generic 386SX-16 box with 4meg of RAM and a
  40meg HD. 
Depends upon the version.  There was a version for 8086 before the
286 version.  
 	Now that you mention it, you're right.  That was the reason I 
 picked it up, because of it's light hardware requirements for a 
 Unix-type OS.   It was also reasonably priced.  I saw a positive 
 review of it in one of the big IBM-PC magazines and ordered it.   I 
 wouldn't mind finding a complete Coherent package again...I have no 
 idea whatever happened to the one I had. 
Yes, I checked it. Coherent run on 286 with the usual 64K code and 64K
data limitation, but the best: You can download a full binary
distributions and the kernel sources from :	ftp.mayn.de/pub/coherent 
I will now try to get it running on my 286 ...
