This machine was purchased with a 33M disk. The first installation package which we received from The Santa Cruz Operation would not install, because it did not handle the size of the disk. After a phone call, we received a new disk that replaced one of the previous installation disks (5 1/4 floppies) and everything worked fine with it. Now we have no problems. I would assume that Xenix (286 version) would also have the same fixes for it, and they should come as standard software by now. It has been 4 months since we went through this. These are my opinions alone. John Jabusch U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
