Thanks for the information all. I didn't expect anyone to have the
software but you never know unless you ask :)
A few things - the OS & Dev Kit can be found. The torrents & such
suggested up thread are only various versions of the OS. They work in
QEMU with some fd fiddling. I can't get it to run right in Virtual Box
:( which I'd far prefer to use. There are lots of blog posts and
Youtube videos on how to get the OS running in emulation.
My next step in the emulated OS is to get the y2k patches installed as
well as the various ported free software onto the emulated drive for
installation. Lacking a TCP/IP stack probably means I'll have to
somehow do it by serial or by (somehow) creating diskette images with
various software on them. Perhaps with real floppy then dd ing it and
mounting the resulting image?
The other unbundled kits are what is missing. I'd really like the text
processing, streams & TCP/IP kits but they & their licenses seem to
have vanished into the ether.
The only copies of Word and FoxPro that I've found I can not get to
work correctly in Xenix386. They may or may not work correctly in a
later (Unix, Open Desktop or Open Server) version.
One other "just in case" - anyone got a copy of SCO Open Desktop 1.1?
That was about the same time as Xenix386, had X11 & TCP/IP built in
and Ingres DB bundled.
I'll keep plugging away at it in case I get lucky :)
