(in particular > AT&T 6300). And if so what are the requirements? Contact your AT&T dealer. SCO Xenix version 2.1.3 is available for the 8088 and 8086 machines. I seem to recall there being a special version for the 6300. I also recently saw an ad offering special prices on it. As for required hardware, I would STRONGLY recommend at least a 20Mb hard disk, although you can get by with a 10 if you don't want all the utilities and applications. It's slow on the 86, but it *IS* real unix! -- Lee A.
