By the way, are there releases of Xenix that run
on PDP-hardware?
I've only ever heard of PC (8086+)-based ones.
In my memory, it seems that Xenix was originally done for the Motorola
68000 then ported to the Intel x86 architecture. The first real "Unix"
I ever ran, by the way, was Microsoft Xenix on a Motorola 68000 based
Tandy 6000. I do not believe that Xenix *ever* ran on PDP based
hardware.
