[comp.unix.xenix] SCO Xenix for $39.00 - Do you believe?

rac@sherpa.UUCP (Roger A. Cornelius) (04/12/89)

In the April Computer Shopper, there's an ad from a company called
Under-Ware Electronics that list's Xenix 5.2.2 for $39.00, with the
development system for an additional $99.00.  I called their 800 number
(see below) to see what the catch was, and the guy told me this was SCO
Xenix for the 286, and I could believe the price they had listed.  He
also said it included manuals (15 pounds worth, so I assume it's the
REAL Xenix documentation), and didn't require any additional purchase.
I already have Xenix (which I paid considerably more for!), so I didn't
order, but I am wondering if this is legitimate.  The price just seems
too good to be true.  Has anyone ordered this or dealt with Under-Ware?

Someone is trying to sell a bunch of the old 2.1 versions of Xenix.  I
just spoke to them and was able to ask the right questions.
