Contrary to Ken Shoemaker's note, XENIX on the AT does run in
the protected 286 mode.  This provides a several megabyte address
space as well as memory management and protection, key items in
a multitasking environment.

SCO offers a XENIX which runs on an unprotected XT; I presume this
can be made to run on an AT, though I don't know if its been done
or why anyone would want to do it.  Perhaps this was the start of
the mis-information.
