Moving disk data between systems has worked for me using the PC/IX,
Xenix SysIII, and SCO Xenix SysV (2.0.6), as well as the IBM RT. In
addition, I have been able to move data from the att7300 to Xenix SysV
by writing cpio to "/dev/rfp020" and reding it on "/dev/rfd048ds8". I
know how to write a 7300 compatible disk with Xenix, but am preparing a
posting with details and will not try to do it here. Look for it in a
few days.

PS: the cpio file produced by *all* of these systems will work on
BSD4.2 and VAX SysV is transferred by uucp! Use the options:
	cpio -oBc
and
	cpio -iBcdml

for the physical drive writes.
