Offered without comment........
From Computers & Electronics, January 1985

There are rumors that AT&T is seriously thinking of offering Microsoft's
Xenix (a true Unix operating system) on its 6300 personal computer, which
is IBM PC compatible. Such a step would put the unit in a much better position
to compete with the new IBM PC/XT machine, which now has Xenix as an
option. The problem is that Xenix is compatible with Unix III and AT&T
has announced that it will support only Unix System V. Microsoft is
known to be working on making Xenix System V compatible. Probably when
that happens AT&T will offer Xenix on the 6300...
