I just inherited a tandy model 12 upgraded to a model 16 (and 15MB hard disk).
Unfortunately it has a horrable IBM-like cobol operating system on it
(RM/COS).  I would like to get xenix for this so:

	- I know very little about compatability & junk on these machines
	  can someone tell me hardware requirements for various versions
	  of xenix (disk space, memory space, model, etc)

	- Does the version of xenix for these machines have:
		C compiler & libraries
		Virtual memory
		Any quirks I should know of?

	- Does anyone have xenix they would like to give, sell cheap or trade
	  for RM/COS and an old version of real world accounting system?

	- Can someone tell a little about the architecture of these machines?
	  I know they have a 68000 and a Z80 and I beleive that all I/O goes
	  through the Z80 and that the 68000 has offset/limit hardware for
	  protection.  Any other interesting facts?  Anyone have schematics
	  or bus signal description?
