an 286 AT and trying an installation, is there any way

3.5" DS2D. I should probably archive them to

Chuck - I'm curious. There was an independent, i.e. not SCO, version of
Unix that Wyse shipped in the late 80's/early 90's for their 7000/9000
systems. It IS labeled as SCO Xenix then?
For that matter - does anyone have any info or actually OWN a Wyse 9000
(an up to 8 processor tower machine with SCSI I/O based on the Sequent
bus.)????

Xenix was a Microsoft product before it was handed off to SCO. I
know there was an IBM OEM version of Xenix 286, in the same tan
slipcovers as other IBM OSes of the time for their PC Line. Is
it possible there is a Wyse OEM version as well?
