But it won't run on all clones.  Xenix requires parity checked memory.  I
am not aware of a particular AT class machine that doesn't have it, but
the Tandy 1000 PC compatible doesn't and hence can't run Xenix.  You might
even want to call your Xenix vendor (SCO or IBM) to see if they have had
any experience with the machine you are considering.
