 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!
