I think they meant Intel based systems specifically, since it was the first one with a propper mmu and a privileged execution ring. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 7:25 PM william degnan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

It's hard to follow all the Xenix-related posts. But I have a Multibus
system running Xenix, if that's of interest.

For a time, Microsoft sold Xenix for various systems. My Xenix is of
Microsoft origin and clearly they had Intel interest or vice versa. Xenix
found its way onto many systems in the early 80's period. Later Microsoft
sold their interests back to SCO.
From an exhibition point of view, there's any number of Xenix systems
which could be exhibited, under some theme by a single exhibitor. I'd
consider cooperating with an exhibitor regarding my machine, contact me
privately.
