Xenix IBM PC v1.0 Exploration

Installing Xenix

If you want to download this version, please check it out on WinWorld. This is apparently only for the IBM PC AT, which uses a 80286. Let's first set up a VM for this, I'll be using 86Box.

I created a virtual machine with the following (stuff that I didn't mention were simply left blank):
