I would very much like to obtain Xenix for my ALR SX386Z, but I
have been having a world of trouble getting a version that will
boot.

My reseller originally ordered the 386-AT version for me, but it
absolutely refused to even boot.  From what I've been able to determine
the incompatibility is with the Seagate 80Meg SCSI hard drive that
I've got installed in this machine.

My reseller was told by SCO that I needed the 386-GT update.  Has
anyone had any experience with this version?  The reseller and their
distributor have never heard of it.  They ended up FAX'ing their order
directly to SCO.

I'd really like to know if this has any chance of working before I shell
out more money for the GT update.

Thanks,
s.c.nelson
