You should check with the sales or tech support folk at SCO to find out if your combination would be capable of supporting XENIX. I have found SCO very responsive to user requests, they may be able to help you get one of their supported releases to run on your (perhaps) unsupported combination. I would also suggest that you look into getting a floppy controller that will support the 1.2 meg high density floppies, my guess is that you will probably need it to install the 386 software and will be much better of when backup time comes around. -- Steven P.

Last I heard (6 months ago, so it might be out of date) the Inboard 386
for the PC didn't support XENIX 386, mainly because the resulting devices
and interrupt structure still looked like a PC and not an AT. XENIX 386
works just fine on the Inboard 386/AT (I'm typing on it now...)
