A while back I posted requests for information about removable
hard disks from which XENIX could be booted on an AT&T PC6300.
I have stumbled into the answer, and thought others might be interested.

I've successfully booted SCO XENIX 3.0 from a 10M removable hard
disk called the Sunflower, made by Kustom Electronics, Inc.*
Note that Kustom didn't think it would work, and neither did SCO.
But it seems to work just fine.

This capability is important for anyone with secure workstation
concerns, especially those in the defense industry, because it
means that you can use UN*X during classified sessions instead of
MS-DOS. I haven't tried XENIX V yet, but I have my hopes up!

  I have no connection with either Kustom Electronics
or SCO, although AT&T pays for my mortgage and groceries.
But why would I waste my time expressing someone else's opinion?
