It's hard to follow all the Xenix-related posts. But I have a Multibus system running Xenix, if that's of interest. http://www.retrotechnology.com/herbs_stuff/386intel/i386_multi.html 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. Herb retrotechnology.com

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:
