 In the latest "Byte", David Fiedler writes in the article, "UNIX on Personal
Computers: Why and How", "...Basic Xenix takes up eight floppy disks and will
install on any normal IBM-compatible hardware, including Intel Inboards." 
Intel's 800 number says that there is no UNIX for the Inboard/PC.

Does anyone in netland know who is right?  Can you run XENIX on a PC with an 
Inboard/PC?  If so, what hardware is required?

Thanks in advance.
