- How about Xenix System V/286? It has the Microsoft copyrights all over
- it. The particular version I have has the Tandy lable and will run on
- a Tandy 3000 (286, not 386 machine). In fact, I even have extra
- copies. Anyone want to buy some? It seems to work just fine on an old
- IBM PC AT. The OS does *not* like EGA, VGA, or IDE drives. Comes with
- vi, awk, uucp, DeskMate, and lots of other potentially useful
- software. Will run in 2MB (maybe even 1MB) and a 20MB drive with room
- left over for data.

- What I really want to do is run something unix like on my palmtop.
- Hmmm, something I just realized, IX is Nine, as in Plan 9, hmmmm.
