- I can guarantee you that it's not. It might *contain* a Z-80, but Xenix
- 3.0 requires at least an 80286. We're running 3.5 Zap 13 here.
-
- Note that Xenix 3.x predates SCO Xenix 2.x.

- Well, the only people I know still quote-supporting-unquote Xenix 3.x is
- Intel, and it'd take serious arm-twisting. BUT, System V/386 Release 3.2
- runs most Xenix 3.x binaries just fine. I suspect Xenix 2.x (wherever SCO
- is up to these days) would do as well, since it seems to have the same
- format (at least I can run Xenix 2.x and Xenix 3.x binaries on the same
- SVR3.2 system).
