If you mean Xenix, no, it's AT only. On the other hand, PC/IX is in fact a full implementation of System III, including all of the programs you'd get with PDP-11 System III. Try it. (It must be admitted that I had something to do with PC/IX, but that was a previous job. I still like it.) -- John R.

Try it. > According to the price list I have from them, SCO XENIX V runs on the IBC PC AT, AT&T 6300 Plus, IBM PC, and PC XT. SCO XENIX III runs on the Apple Lisa 2, and Macintosh/XL. The cost for all three packages is $1295 for the IBM/AT&T and $895 for Apple/Macintosh. For further information: The Santa Cruz Operation 500 Chestnut Street P.O.
