Hi, I am interested in old computers especially in i286
(PC/AT)class
computers. I am looking for a multitasking OS which uses the capabilities
of this CPU like memory protection, 16MB address space, etc.
I only found Xenix/286 which take advantage of this 286 features or are
there other ones as well?
Is it still possible to find copies for this version of Xenix?
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.
