Remember,
Xenix was originally a Microsoft product, they then sold it off
to SCO (for a % ownership in SCO)
Actually Xenix was never a Microsoft branded product. It was Microsoft's
but they only sold Xenix as OEM'd versions to vendors like SCO and lots
of HW vendors who then added they modifications to support their specific
products (like Apricot, whose machines were far from plain PCs).

Probably the Model 16. Xenix Operating System was copyright 1983 by
Microsoft and licensed to Tandy and others.
