The poster does not say if the PC/IX floppies are mountable
files, cpio files, or tar files.  I assume they are 360Kbyte floppies.
UNIX on the PC6300 PLUS can read floppies with cpio and tar files
from XENIX, so I would expect that it could read them from PC/IX as well.
Since PC/IX is UNIX System III rather than XENIX, it is even possible
that the PLUS could read mountable files.
UNIX for the PLUS will be orderable from AT&T-IS within the next
3-4 days (I will post details then).  If the poster wants to send
me one of his/her PC/IX floppies and some more info, though, I will
try to read it.
